The Setting out of the Train Bands from London to raise the Siege of Gloucester, 1643
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a remarkable moment in history - the departure of train bands from London during the English Civil War. Taken from a mural fresco by Charles West Cope, this detailed image is housed in the Peers Corridor at the Palace of Westminster. In this scene, we witness a diverse group of individuals preparing for battle. Men, women, and even children can be seen alongside their loyal horses, all adorned with flags symbolizing their allegiance to Parliament. The atmosphere is charged with determination as apprentices leave behind their daily occupations to join the fight against royalist forces. The setting itself speaks volumes about seventeenth-century London; grand buildings stand tall in the background while a preacher passionately addresses those departing for war. This powerful visual encapsulates not only political unrest but also highlights societal roles and responsibilities during that era. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of sacrifice and unity amidst conflict. It pays homage to ordinary people who bravely took up arms for what they believed was right. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own place within history and how collective action can shape nations. Let it inspire us to honor those who fought before us and strive for peace in our modern world.
