EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Satirical print in form of a Wanted Poster for Prince Charles Edward Stuart" takes us back to the tumultuous year of 1745. The artist, Richard Cooper, masterfully portrays the infamous Bonnie Prince Charlie in an elaborate tartan costume, his image both striking and mythical. The satirical nature of this artwork becomes evident as we delve into its details. Dropping a manifesto and offering a reward for his capture, the prince is depicted as a wanted man. This cleverly crafted piece serves as both advertisement and propaganda against him. Prince Charles Edward Stuart, also known as the Young Pretender or Bonnie Prince Charlie, made headlines when he landed in Scotland that fateful year with ambitions to claim the throne. His audacious invasion of England sent shockwaves through the nation. Cooper's imaginative portrayal was created before Edinburgh fell under government control in September. Thus, this likeness remains purely fictional but carries immense historical significance nonetheless. As we gaze upon this colored engraving from our private collection today, it offers us a glimpse into an era filled with political intrigue and rebellion. It reminds us of how art can be used to shape public opinion and immortalize pivotal moments in history.
