EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Carousal" takes us back in time to the era of the English Civil War. Created by George Cattermole, this print showcases a scene from Richard Cattermole's book "The Great Civil War of the times of Charles I and Cromwell". In this illustration, we witness a stark contrast between two opposing factions - the Puritans or Roundheads and the Cavaliers. The Roundheads, known for their strict religious beliefs, are depicted as solemn figures dressed in plain attire. On the other hand, the Cavaliers exude an air of extravagance with their flamboyant clothing and cavalier attitudes. Amidst this clash of ideologies, one cannot help but notice another striking contrast - that of indulgence versus restraint. While some characters indulge in smoking pipes and drinking wine during this carousal (a festive gathering), others maintain their sobriety. "The Carousal" not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how societal divisions can manifest even during moments meant for celebration. This intricate engraving offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history while contemplating themes such as religion, politics, and human nature. Bridgeman Images has once again brought forth a remarkable piece from its Fine Art Finder collection that sparks curiosity and invites contemplation about our past.
