EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a chilling moment in history - the aftermath of Monmouth's Rebellion in 1685. The image shows several rebels who have met their tragic fate, hanging lifelessly from a tree. Amongst this grim scene, the focus is drawn to a playing card - the five of hearts - which serves as a poignant symbol of both chance and consequence. The engraving, created by an unknown English artist from the 17th century, offers a glimpse into the brutal reality faced by those who dared to challenge authority during this tumultuous time. Known as the "bloody assizes" these events marked a period of severe punishment for treasonous acts committed against supporters of Monmouth. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the immense power wielded by those in positions of authority and their willingness to employ ruthless measures to maintain control. It serves as a stark reminder that rebellion often comes at great cost. Preserved within a private collection, this rare piece provides us with an opportunity to reflect on history's darker chapters and pay homage to those who fought for what they believed in – even if it meant paying the ultimate price. Through Bridgeman Images' careful curation and preservation efforts, we can continue to learn from our past while appreciating art's ability to capture profound moments like these.
