EDITORS COMMENTS
Welcome to Amsterdam: A Historic Arrival with Willem III and Queen Mary II This photograph, taken from the vast collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, captures a significant moment in Dutch history as Willem III, Prince of Orange and future King of England, England, Scotland, and Ireland, and his Queen, Mary II, arrive at Amsterdam's railway station in 1688. The image, rich in historical detail, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and elegance of the royal couple as they disembark from their carriage. The year was 1688, and the arrival of Willem III and Queen Mary II marked the beginning of the Glorious Revolution, which would ultimately lead to the overthrow of their father-in-law, King James II of England, and the establishment of a new monarchy. The couple's journey from England to the Netherlands was a crucial step in their quest to reclaim the English throne, which they had been denied due to James II's Catholic beliefs. Amidst the bustling activity of the railway station, a hidden gem remains unnoticed - a windmill, standing proudly in the background. The windmill, a testament to Amsterdam's rich industrial past, adds an intriguing layer to the photograph, emphasizing the city's historical significance as a center for trade and innovation. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the past, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in Dutch and British history. The image invites us to delve deeper into the stories of Willem III and Queen Mary II, their journey, and the impact they had on the world. As we admire the photograph, let us not forget the windmill, a humble reminder of Amsterdam's rich history and the city's enduring connection to its past.
