EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a letter written by King James II to his brother-in-law, Lawrence Hyde, during the late 17th century. The artist himself, King James II, penned this letter while in retirement in Scotland amidst the tumultuous times of the Exclusion Bill. In this remarkable piece of correspondence, the Duke of York expresses his concerns about the untrustworthiness of the Duchess of Portsmouth and proposes changes within the Ministry. He also emphasizes the necessity of dissolving Parliament and discusses Lord Stafford's conviction for involvement in the Popish Plot. Moreover, King James II adamantly declares his unwavering determination not to change his religion. The detached signature featured here is taken from another letter addressed to Samuel Pepys on April 25th, 1679, further adding historical significance to this exquisite artifact. This facsimile captures every intricate detail with its vibrant colors and impeccable handwriting. As we delve into this extraordinary glimpse into history through these royal correspondences, we are reminded of both political intrigue and religious steadfastness that defined an era. This print serves as a testament to King James II's reign as monarch and provides us with invaluable insights into seventeenth-century politics and society at large.
