EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as James II is informed about William of Orange's daring landing at Brixham, Devon on 5 November 1688. The image transports us back to a time when thrones were being fiercely contested and the fate of England, Scotland, and Ireland hung in the balance. In this private collection piece, we witness James II receiving news that would forever alter the course of his reign. His expression reveals a mixture of shock, concern, and perhaps even resignation as he learns about William of Orange's audacious claim to power. The engraving beautifully conveys the weightiness of this momentous event. The composition expertly captures the tension between light and shadow, symbolizing the uncertainty surrounding James II's future. As viewers, we are drawn into this intimate scene where history unfolds before our eyes. The Holbarn Archive has skillfully preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate centuries later. Through Bridgeman Images' fine art finder platform, we have been granted access to an extraordinary visual representation of one of Britain's most significant political transitions. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even behind closed doors and away from public view, monumental events can unfold that shape nations and redefine destinies. It is through such images that we gain insight into our shared past and come to understand how it continues to shape our present reality.
