The Chevaliers Market - A Satirical Glimpse into the Jacobite Rebellion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This etching, "The Chevaliers Market, or Highland Fair" published by George Bickham the Younger in 1745, offers a fascinating insight into the political climate of 18th-century Britain. Serving as a Protestant broadside during the Jacobite Rebellion, this satirical artwork sheds light on the Catholic Young Pretender's attempt to gather support while English liberties are seemingly swept away. In this intricate scene set in a bustling market square, we witness Bonnie Prince Charlie himself recruiting followers amidst an array of Holy Relics being sold. The artist masterfully captures the tension between British monarchy and Scottish nationalism through clever symbolism and caricatured figures. Tartan-clad supporters rally around their charismatic leader as he plays his role in this high-stakes drama for the throne. Notably, fleurs de lis motifs adorn various elements within the composition—a nod to France's involvement in supporting Charles Edward Stuart's cause. Meanwhile, a drummer beats his instrument with fervor to attract attention and recruit more soldiers for their army. With its meticulous details and underlying political commentary, "The Chevaliers Market" serves as powerful propaganda against Catholicism and prejudice towards France. It highlights how religious divisions played a significant role in shaping public opinion during this tumultuous period. This thought-provoking print from Fine Art Finder invites us to reflect upon historical events while appreciating artistic satire at its finest—rem
