EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic "Assault on Lambeth Palace, 1642" in exquisite detail. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving showcases a pivotal moment in history. The assault depicted here was part of the rising tensions during the English Civil War and serves as a powerful reminder of the tumultuous times. The image is digitally cleaned, allowing us to appreciate every intricate line and texture. It was originally featured as an illustration for Mason Jackson's book "The Pictorial Press its Origins and Progress" published in 1885. This historical context adds depth to our understanding of this artwork. Lambeth Palace, home to the Archbishops of Canterbury, stands tall amidst chaos and destruction. The woodcut style emphasizes both the violence and bravery displayed by those involved in this assault. From prentises to seamen, people from all walks of life are shown fighting on Southwark's side. This engraving also highlights how early journalism used pictorial representations to convey news stories before photography became prevalent. Woodcuts like these were often featured in newspapers and magazines at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but be transported back to that fateful day in 1642 when Lambeth Palace became a battleground for political strife.
