EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Charles II and his court at the palace during the Plague of London" offers a glimpse into a tumultuous period in English history. Captured in 1890 by The Graphic, this image depicts King Charles II and his court seeking refuge from the devastating plague that ravaged London between 1665-1666. In the foreground, we see Lady Castlemaine, an influential figure known for her beauty and charm. Standing beside her is King Charles II himself, exuding regal poise amidst adversity. Queen Catherine accompanies them, attended by her Spanish duennas who provide support during these trying times. The setting transports us to Oxfordshire where the royal court sought sanctuary from the deadly disease. As they sit together on elegant chairs, their attire reflects both fashion trends of the era as well as their status within society. This snapshot captures not only their physical appearance but also hints at their resilience in facing such a catastrophic event. The Plague of London was a dark chapter in British history that claimed thousands of lives. However, this image reminds us that even amidst great tragedy, life continued with determination and strength. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of monarchy and highlights how leaders must adapt to protect themselves and those under their care during times of crisis. As we observe this moment frozen in time through The Graphic's engraving, we are reminded of both our shared vulnerability as humans and our ability to persevere against unimaginable odds.
