The Train-Bands Leave London - A Glimpse into the English Civil War
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph, captured by Charles West Cope in 1923, takes us back to a significant moment in history - the English Civil War. The image depicts the Parliamentarian army as they march through the bustling streets of London, leaving spectators awestruck. As we gaze upon this print from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, we are transported to a time when political tensions ran high and England was divided between Royalists and Parliamentarians. The train-bands, also known as militia or citizen soldiers, were called upon to defend their cause. The scene is filled with energy and anticipation. City dwellers line the streets, eagerly watching this grand parade unfold before their eyes. Civilians from all walks of life stand side by side with roundheads - those who supported Parliament - united in their desire for change. The soldiers themselves exude strength and determination as they march forward in perfect formation. Their presence commands attention and respect. Engraved details bring out every intricate element of their uniforms; each button meticulously etched onto paper. This historic engraving serves as a reminder of our nation's past struggles for freedom and democracy. It captures a pivotal moment that shaped our future generations' understanding of governance and individual rights. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece allows us to reflect on how far we have come while appreciating the sacrifices made by those who came before us.
