EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Colonel Pride excluding the Members obnoxious to the Army from the House of Commons" transports us back to a pivotal moment in English history during the Great Civil War. The artist, George Cattermole, skillfully captures this significant event with meticulous detail and depth. In this powerful image, we witness Colonel Pride executing his infamous purge within the hallowed walls of the House of Commons. As tensions between Parliament and King Charles I escalated, Colonel Thomas Pride took it upon himself to remove those members deemed unfavorable or disloyal to the army's cause. This act became known as "Pride's Purge". The scene is filled with intensity as armed troops stand guard while Colonel Pride meticulously scrutinizes each member entering Parliament. The composition expertly conveys both strength and vulnerability; pride on one side and trepidation on another. Cattermole's engraving serves as a visual testament to an era defined by political strife and military power struggles. It offers viewers a glimpse into a critical turning point that shaped England's future. This remarkable print is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for Richard Cattermole's book, "The Great Civil War". Its historical significance cannot be overstated, providing us with valuable insight into one of England's most turbulent periods.
