EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the meeting of two powerful monarchs - James II and Louis XIV. After being deposed during the Glorious Revolution of 1688, James sought refuge in France under the warm embrace of his cousin, Louis XIV. At that time, Louis was engaged in a fierce war against William of Orange, who had taken over the English and Scottish thrones. Intrigued by Ireland's unwavering loyalty to him as their king, James decided to embark on a journey to this land where he still held recognition. Encouraged by Louis himself, James set foot on Irish soil with hopes of regaining his lost power and reclaiming his throne. James II and VII were not only kings but also symbols of resilience and determination amidst political turmoil. Their alliance represented an intricate web woven between European powers during this era. The photograph itself is a testament to historical documentation from Cassells Illustrated History of England published around 1890. It serves as a visual reminder that even centuries later, we can still marvel at these influential figures who shaped nations through their actions and alliances. Ken Welsh's skillful capture allows us to glimpse into the past while appreciating the significance behind this remarkable encounter between two monarchs caught up in a tumultuous period known as one of England's most transformative revolutions - The Glorious Revolution.
