EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Charles I on the eve of the Battle of Edgehill" offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in British history. Created by an unknown English artist around 1923, this print showcases King Charles I as he prepares for battle during the English Civil War. In the image, we see Charles I standing tall and resolute, surrounded by his loyal soldiers and officers. His regal presence is enhanced by his ornate attire and majestic horse. The king's walking stick rests firmly in his hand, symbolizing both power and authority. A soldier stands beside him with a faithful dog at his side, emphasizing loyalty even amidst chaos. This canine companion serves as a reminder that even in times of war, humanity finds solace in the companionship of animals. The engraving skillfully captures the tension and anticipation before battle - soldiers stand ready with their weapons while horses prance restlessly nearby. The scene exudes an air of determination mixed with apprehension as these men prepare to fight for their cause. This historic illustration from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation transports us back to October 22nd, 1642 - just hours before one of England's most significant battles commenced. It immortalizes King Charles I on this fateful night when destinies were shaped and lives forever changed. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately today but available through Bridgeman Images' archives, this evocative print allows us to reflect upon a crucial chapter in
