Captured in the form of a satirical cartoon from 1651, this illustration sheds light on the religious tensions that plagued England and Scotland during King Charles I's reign. The image portrays King Charles I, dressed in regal attire, positioned atop a grindstone. This grindstone symbolizes the relentless pressure exerted by Scottish Presbyterian intolerance upon the English monarchy. The cartoonist skillfully employs satire to depict this struggle between two opposing forces. The stark contrast between black and white elements within the illustration further emphasizes the divide between Scotland and England at that time. It serves as a visual representation of how religious differences can create deep divisions within society.

Preserved through time, it reminds us of the power that art possesses in capturing complex social dynamics. Ken Welsh's expertly crafted print allows viewers to delve into this fascinating piece of history while appreciating its artistic merit.
