EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Flight of Charles from Oxford during the English Civil War. The illustration, taken from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, showcases the dramatic escape of Charles I, the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. In this scene, we see Charles I on horseback as he flees across a bridge under cover of darkness. The image exudes an air of urgency and tension as the royal figure attempts to elude his pursuers. With every stride of his horse, he moves closer to freedom and safety. The composition beautifully highlights both the grandeur and vulnerability of royalty during times of conflict. The regal attire worn by Charles contrasts with the chaotic backdrop created by war-torn England. It serves as a poignant reminder that even those in power can be forced into desperate situations. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when political turmoil shaped nations. This artwork not only celebrates British history but also pays homage to those who fought for their beliefs during these tumultuous times. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this engraving reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is always hope for redemption and triumph over adversity.
