EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a humorous take on the military skills of a Puritan soldier during the English Civil War in 1642. The image depicts Sir William Waller, a prominent Parliamentarian general, who is portrayed as losing two armies yet somehow managing to come out ahead in the end. The title "Satire on Puritan Milit" hints at the artist's critique of Waller's leadership abilities and perhaps even his religious beliefs.
The scene captures a moment of chaos and confusion on the battlefield, with soldiers scrambling around in disarray while Waller stands stoically at the center, seemingly unfazed by the mayhem unfolding around him. Despite his apparent shortcomings as a military commander, there is an air of resilience and determination about him that suggests he will find a way to overcome any obstacles that come his way.
Through this satirical lens, viewers are invited to reflect on themes of power, religion, and history as they consider how individuals like Waller navigated the turbulent political landscape of their time. This print serves as both a playful jab at Puritanism and an insightful commentary on the complexities of war and faith in 17th-century England.
