EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Mattaus Merian the Younger takes us back to Britain in 1662, where crowds eagerly gather to catch a glimpse of their beloved Royals. The scene is split into two distinct moments, each showcasing the grandeur and excitement surrounding the monarchy. In the first part of the print, we witness Queen Mary II's arrival in Portsmouth on May 25th. The river Thames becomes a bustling stage as boats and tugboats transport eager spectators towards this momentous event. People from all walks of life have flocked together, united by their admiration for their royal figures. The second part transports us to Hampton Court after Whithall on August 23rd. Here, amidst the picturesque backdrop of Hampton Court Palace and its park, King William III and Queen Mary II are greeted with immense enthusiasm by Londoners. The river Thames once again serves as a vital artery connecting people from different corners of Great Britain. Merian skillfully captures not only the scenes but also conveys a sense of national pride and loyalty that permeated British society during this period. This engraving offers us a window into history, reminding us of how deeply ingrained royalty was within British culture. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with monarchs past and present – symbols that continue to unite nations under one banner despite changing times.
