EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Boscobel - The Royal Oak" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created in April 1800 by Joseph Farrington and Robert Smirke, this engraving measures 21.6x30.5 cm and is housed at The William Salt Library in Stafford, UK. The image depicts Charles II, the king of England, disguised among woodcutters in the Forest of Boscobel. With his identity concealed, he stands amidst the workers before embarking on a daring climb into an oak tree – famously known as the Royal Oak. This act was crucial for his survival during a time when he faced great danger and persecution. Intriguingly, the engraving also captures men arriving with news of an ongoing search for Charles II. Their arrival adds tension to the scene as they bring updates that could potentially jeopardize his safety. Through this remarkable artwork, we are transported to a pivotal moment where history hangs delicately in balance. It serves as a reminder of Charles II's resilience and determination to reclaim his throne despite facing immense adversity. Preserved within The William Salt Library's collection, this print offers us a glimpse into one of England's most iconic tales from centuries past. Its historical significance combined with its artistic beauty make it an invaluable piece that continues to captivate viewers today.
