EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "William Pendrill and the Boscobel Oak" transports us back to a pivotal moment in English history. The image depicts William Pendrill, along with his five brothers, who were tenants of Boscobel House in Shropshire during the 17th century. As devout Roman Catholics and staunch royalists, their loyalty was put to the ultimate test when Charles II faced defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. In a remarkable act of bravery and devotion, the Pendrills concealed King Charles II within the sturdy branches of an ancient oak tree on their estate. This hidden refuge became known as the Royal Oak - a symbol of resilience and hope for monarchists during those turbulent times. After Charles II's restoration to power, he rewarded the Pendrill family's unwavering loyalty by granting them pensions. This engraving captures both William Pendrill's portrait and the iconic Boscobel Oak where they sheltered their beloved king. The image exudes a sense of reverence and admiration for these courageous individuals who risked everything to protect their monarch. It serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication and showcases how ordinary people can shape extraordinary events. Through this print, we are reminded not only of historical significance but also of timeless values such as loyalty, sacrifice, and resilience that continue to inspire us today.
