EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Nell Gwyn and her two sons, Charles, Earl of Burford, and James, Lord Beauclerk" takes us back to the 17th century in England. The image showcases Nell Gwynne, a renowned actress and mistress of King Charles II during the Restoration period. In this intimate portrait, Nell reclines gracefully while holding her two young sons close to her heart. Dressed in elaborate Stuart costumes that reflect the opulence of the Baroque era, they exude an air of aristocracy despite their illegitimate status. The artist Henri Gascar beautifully captures the essence of motherhood as Nell gazes lovingly at her children. This print is part of a collection illustrating "The Story of Nell Gwyn and the Sayings of Charles II" by Peter Cunningham. As we delve into history through this artwork, we are transported to a time when England was undergoing significant political changes. It offers a glimpse into the life and influence that Nell had on both King Charles II's court and British society. With its rich detail and historical significance, this engraving serves as a testament to not only Nell's beauty but also her resilience as she navigated through societal norms with grace. It stands as a reminder that even in times filled with turmoil and uncertainty; love for one's family can prevail above all else.
