English King Invading Invasion Protestant South Devon Welcomed Welcoming William Of Orange
EDITORS COMMENTS
William III of Orange, accompanied by his Dutch army, makes a triumphant landing in Brixham on 5 November 1688. This historic moment captured in the print showcases the pivotal event known as the Glorious Revolution. With unwavering determination and Protestant ideals, William of Orange embarked on this daring invasion to overthrow King James II and secure his own claim to the English throne. As he steps onto English soil, William is greeted with open arms by the people of South Devon who eagerly welcome their future king. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and hope for a new era of religious freedom and political stability under William's reign. The lithograph beautifully depicts this significant chapter in England's history, taken from 'The National and Domestic History of England' by William Hickman Smith Aubrey. Published around 1890 in London, it serves as a testament to how even centuries later, this momentous occasion continues to captivate our imagination. Let us not forget that this image represents more than just an invading force; it symbolizes a turning point where power was peacefully transferred from one monarch to another. It marks the beginning of a new era for England as James II was overthrown and William III ascended alongside Mary to jointly rule over their newly united kingdom.
