EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts James, Duke of York and Albany, a prominent figure in 17th-century England. The future King James II of England is portrayed with regal elegance and an air of authority. Dressed in exquisite Stuart costume, he exudes the grandeur befitting his royal status. The intricate details captured in this print showcase the restoration era's fashion and style. The Duke's attire includes the prestigious Order of the Garter, symbolizing his membership in one of Britain's most esteemed orders. This portrait not only reflects the opulence and splendor associated with monarchy but also offers a glimpse into British history during this period. The image originates from Peter Cunningham's book "The Story of Nell Gwyn and the Sayings of Charles II" published in London in 1852. It serves as a visual representation that complements Cunningham's written account. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value and historical significance. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back to an era when kings ruled over vast empires and shaped nations' destinies. This print invites us to explore not only James II's life but also broader European history during that time.
