EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the dramatic escape of King James II following his defeat at the Battle of Boyne in 1690. Depicting a scene from British Battles on Land and Sea, this illustration by Andrew Carrick Gow vividly portrays the desperation and turmoil surrounding James II's flight.

James II himself stands tall amidst his escort, exuding both regality and resignation. Clad in royal attire, he boards the rowing boat as if accepting his fate with dignity.
