EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled ""Take away that Bauble", Cromwell dissolving the Long Parliament" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The image, a hand-coloured etching by John Leech from 1864, depicts Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War on April 20th, 1653. The scene is filled with tension as Cromwell stands before the Houses of Parliament, surrounded by his loyal guards and soldiers. With determination in his eyes, he reaches out towards a parliamentarian holding a sceptre - symbolizing their authority. This iconic gesture signifies Cromwell's decision to dissolve the Long Parliament. The composition beautifully captures the clash between power and rebellion. The Roundheads, represented by the soldiers with pikes and distinctive helmets, stand firm behind their leader while members of parliament look on in shock and disbelief. As Lord Protector of England, Cromwell takes charge fearlessly, removing what he sees as an unnecessary "bauble" from those who have abused their power. This historical moment marked a turning point in England's political landscape and solidified Cromwell's position as one of its most influential figures. Through this remarkable artwork from The Comic History of England series published in 1864, we are reminded of the complex dynamics at play during this turbulent period. With its rich colors and attention to detail, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a visual portal into an important chapter in British history – one that forever changed the course
