EDITORS COMMENTS
The Peril of the Queen Henrietta Maria, 19th century. Artist: P Lightfoot In this photo print, we are transported back to the 17th century, amidst a time of great danger and hardship in England. The image depicts Queen Henrietta Maria, the courageous consort of King Charles I, along with her children and a group of loyal followers huddled together in a hidden location within the countryside. As the Civil War raged on and Charles' fortunes declined, fear gripped their hearts as they were forced to flee for their lives. The biting cold weather adds an additional layer of discomfort to their already treacherous journey through snow-covered landscapes. The composition beautifully captures the vulnerability and nervousness etched upon each face; even royalty is not immune to fear. Despite their regal status, they find solace in each other's presence as they seek shelter from impending danger. The monochrome tones emphasize both the starkness of their surroundings and the gravity of their situation. It serves as a poignant reminder that even those who hold power can be frightened by circumstances beyond their control. This remarkable piece by P Lightfoot evokes emotions ranging from empathy to admiration for these individuals who faced such perilous times with unwavering determination. It stands as a testament to human resilience during times of war and reminds us that history is often shaped by ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events.
