EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CAVALIERS AND PURITANS" takes us back to 17th century England during the reign of Charles I. The wood engraving, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures a snapshot of this tumultuous era. In the foreground, we see two distinct groups that defined English society at the time: Cavaliers and Puritans. On one side stands a dashing Cavalier soldier, adorned in his flamboyant attire with a feathered hat and cape flowing behind him. His confident stance reflects the royalist loyalty he holds for King Charles I. Opposite him are two stern-looking Puritans, identifiable by their simple clothing and somber expressions. These men represent the religious reform movement that sought to purify the Church of England from what they perceived as corrupt practices. The presence of a loyal dog by their side symbolizes faithfulness amidst political and religious divisions. This image serves as a reminder of how deeply entrenched these opposing ideologies were within English society during this period. The backdrop hints at daily life in mid-17th century England, where tensions between Cavaliers (also known as Royalists) and Puritans (also known as Roundheads) eventually escalated into the English Civil War. Through this historical wood engraving, we gain insight into an important chapter in British history when conflicting beliefs shaped destinies and forever altered the course of England's monarchy.
