EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts Revolution House, a historic cottage located in the picturesque village of Whittington, Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Once known as the "Cock & Pynet" Inn, this thatched, walled property holds significant historical importance as the site where patriotic noblemen gathered in 1650 to plot for the installation of William of Orange as the King of England. William III, a Protestant Dutch prince, was invited to take the throne following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which overthrew his Catholic predecessor, King James II. The successful coup marked a turning point in British history, leading to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy and the Bill of Rights in 1689. The charming image captures the quintessential English countryside, with the ivy-covered cottage nestled among lush gardens and roses in full bloom. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of the iconic orange roses, symbolizing the House of Orange, which adorn the walls and windows. As you gaze upon this print, imagine the pivotal moments in history that unfolded within the walls of this humble cottage. The noblemen, driven by their patriotic fervor, gathered around the fireplace, planning the future of their country and paving the way for a new era of British monarchy. This evocative piece of history transports us back to 1702, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the rich tapestry of events that have shaped our world. The Revolution House in Whittington, Derbyshire, stands as a testament to the power of unity, courage, and determination in the face of adversity.
