EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled ""Go to the Wars"" transports us back in time to the early 17th century, offering a glimpse into an important historical event. This illustration originates from a pamphlet showcasing the resolution of London women sending their husbands off to fight in the Thirty Years War around 1619. In this woodcut image created by an anonymous English artist, we witness a powerful scene filled with emotion and determination. The women of London are depicted bidding farewell to their loved ones as they embark on a journey towards war. Their resolute expressions and body language convey both pride and concern for their husbands' safety. This artwork holds significant historical context, as it coincides with the coronation of James I's son-in-law, Frederick V of the Palatinate, on August 26th, 1619. It serves as a reminder of how political events often influenced societal dynamics during that era. The "Go to the Wars" illustration also sheds light on broader themes such as propaganda and costume design prevalent at that time. Its inclusion in this private collection allows us access to appreciate its artistic value while preserving our cultural heritage. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can explore this remarkable piece without any commercial intent but rather appreciate its historical significance and artistic merit within our collective human experience.
