EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print titled "Fox's Martyrs or The Patriots in Limbo" captures a pivotal moment during the American Revolution. Created in March 1784, this etching depicts Charles James Fox's martyrs, who were members of Parliament that supported him during the election aftermath. On the right side of the print, Frederick, Lord North, hangs from a devil's pitchfork with a stone labeled "American War" around his neck. In the center, Charles Fox can be seen apologizing for his actions. The 1784 Parliamentary election marked an important turning point as it was the first national election in England. However, Fox and North faced strong opposition from George III and William Pitt the Younger. Despite their efforts to remain in power through a coalition known as Fox-North, they ultimately lost to Pitt. This satirical artwork draws inspiration from John Foxe's Book of Martyrs (1563), likening those who continued to support Fox and North to martyrs due to their association with the American Revolution. It lays blame on this conflict for causing defeat for the Whigs. With its engraved image and retro-styled design reminiscent of Victorian art and culture, this historic artwork evokes nostalgia for a bygone era. Its traditional illustrative technique transports viewers back in time while offering insights into significant historical events like never before.
