EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Charles II Concealed in the Royal Oak, while his pursuers passed under him" depicts a pivotal moment in English history. Created by the American School in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of humor and historical significance. In 1651, during the tumultuous period of Charles II's exile, he found himself hiding from his enemies who sought to capture him. The image portrays a comical twist as Charles II cleverly conceals himself within the branches of an oak tree known as "The Royal Oak". Meanwhile, unbeknownst to his pursuers passing beneath him, he remains hidden and safe. The artist's skillful execution brings out both amusement and admiration for Charles II's resourcefulness. This illustration was originally featured in Bill Nyes History of England (Lippincott, 1896), with illustrations by W M Goodes and A M Richards. Through this digitally cleaned image provided by Look and Learn, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical context. It serves as a reminder of England's rich past filled with intrigue and cunning strategies employed by its leaders. This engraving encapsulates an important chapter in English history while infusing it with humor. It invites us to reflect on how wit and quick thinking can sometimes be our greatest allies when faced with adversity.
