The Cross, Bridgewater - A Historic Proclamation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph captures the essence of a significant moment in British history. The image showcases "The Cross, Bridgewater" where James Scott, Duke of Monmouth, was proclaimed king in 1685. Created by Walter Stanley Paget and published in Cassell's History of England circa 1920, this print transports us back to a time filled with political intrigue and rebellion. The stone cross stands tall and proud against the backdrop of an idyllic Somerset landscape. Its weathered facade tells tales of countless generations who have passed through its shadowy archways. Dressed in period costumes that evoke the spirit of the era, figures gather around the cross as Monmouth is declared king amidst an uprising. This engraving serves as a visual testament to the power struggles that shaped Britain's past. It invites us to reflect on how individuals like Monmouth challenged authority and fought for their beliefs during times of great uncertainty. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that history is not just confined within textbooks but can be brought to life through art. This lithograph allows us to witness a pivotal moment when one man dared to challenge convention and claim his right to rule. Let this print serve as a reminder that even in tumultuous times, there are those who will rise up against injustice and fight for what they believe is right – forever etching their mark on our shared history.
