EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back to the year 1653 when Oliver Cromwell famously dissolved parliament. The image depicts a pivotal moment in history as Cromwell seizes the mace and exclaims, "Take Away This Bauble!" with a mix of determination and disdain on his face. The artist behind this 19th-century print is unknown, but their skill in capturing both the seriousness and humor of the scene is evident. The composition draws our attention to Cromwell's commanding presence, surrounded by members of parliament who appear shocked and bewildered by his actions. The use of humor in this illustration adds an unexpected twist to an otherwise serious event. By referring to the mace as a "bauble". Cromwell mocks its symbolic significance within parliamentary proceedings. This clever play on words showcases his disdain for what he perceives as empty pomp and ceremony. This image serves not only as a historical document but also as a reminder that even during tumultuous times, there can be moments of levity. It offers us insight into Cromwell's character - someone unafraid to challenge tradition and inject some comic relief into political discourse. Overall, this engraving captures an important moment in English history while simultaneously showcasing the wit and audacity of Oliver Cromwell. It invites us to reflect on how humor can be used as a powerful tool even amidst significant political upheaval.
