EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures a pivotal moment in history - James II, the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, entering Dublin after the Battle of the Boyne. The illustration is taken from Cassell's Illustrated History of England and showcases the aftermath of this significant battle that took place in 1690. In this scene, we witness James II on horseback as he rides through the streets of Dublin. Despite his defeat at the hands of William III during the Battle of the Boyne, there is an air of regality about him. He waves to his subjects who line the streets to welcome their ruler back into their midst. The image symbolizes both retreat and defeat for James II and his Jacobite supporters but also represents a turning point in British history known as the Glorious Revolution. It marked a shift in power from Catholic rulers towards Protestant ones and solidified Britain's path towards becoming a constitutional monarchy. As we observe this historical street scene unfold before us, it serves as a reminder not only of political upheaval but also highlights how art can capture moments that shape nations. This engraving from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into an era long gone while reminding us that even in defeat, there can still be grandeur and resilience displayed by those who once held power.
