EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Raising the royal standard at Nottingham, 1642" takes us back to a pivotal moment in English history. The image showcases the ceremonial act of raising the royal standard during the early stages of the English Civil War. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as onlookers gather around to witness this significant event. The woodcut technique used in this print adds a sense of authenticity and historical depth to the composition. The artist masterfully captures both the grandeur and gravity of this occasion. The regal figure standing atop a platform raises his hand high, while soldiers stand guard nearby, ready to defend their cause. Flags flutter in the wind, symbolizing loyalty and allegiance. This engraving was originally created for Mason Jackson's book "The Pictorial Press its Origins and Progress" published in 1885. It serves as an illustration that brings history alive through visual storytelling. Preserved meticulously over time, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail with clarity. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how journalism has evolved from these early pictorial newspapers into our modern-day press. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now admire this remarkable piece that encapsulates a crucial moment in British history – when a nation stood divided under different standards but united by their unwavering beliefs.
