EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Historical Aspects of Hampton Court, Charles II and his Court at the Palace during the Plague of London" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the lives of King Charles II and his courtiers during one of London's darkest times. The image showcases Hampton Court Palace as its backdrop, where the court sought refuge from the devastating Great Plague that ravaged London in 1665. Amidst this backdrop, we see Lady Castlemaine and Spanish duennas attending to their duties while surrounded by an air of unease. Charles II himself is depicted with Queen Catherine by his side, both adorned in regal attire but wearing expressions tinged with concern. The palace grounds are filled with courtiers going about their daily activities against a backdrop of uncertainty and fear. This engraving serves as a reminder of how even royalty was not immune to the horrors brought upon by disease. It captures a pivotal moment when power and privilege were overshadowed by mortality and vulnerability. Preserved within this private collection, this historical artwork allows us to reflect on our own resilience amidst challenging times. It stands as a testament to human strength and endurance throughout history – reminding us that even in moments of darkness, there is always hope for brighter days ahead.
