EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of the "Escape of King Charles from Oxford". Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving showcases a pivotal event during the Civil War era. The image depicts King Charles I fleeing from Oxford, his loyal followers by his side, as he seeks refuge and safety amidst the chaos of war. The intricate details and expert craftsmanship of this artwork are brought to life through digital cleaning techniques. This allows viewers to appreciate every stroke and line that conveys the intensity and urgency of the escape. The historical significance is further emphasized by its inclusion in "The Peoples History of England" published by Cassell Petter & Galpin around 1890. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial chapter in European history. It serves as a reminder not only of political turmoil but also highlights Germany's involvement during this period. While King Charles I sought sanctuary within Germanic territories, it sheds light on Northern Germany's role in shaping European culture. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this remarkable piece for us to admire today. Its presence evokes curiosity about our shared past while reminding us that art can be both visually stunning and historically enlightening.
