"The Young Pretender: The Last Stand of Bonnie Prince Charlie" In the annals of history, one name stands out as a symbol of hope and rebellion - Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart, better known as The Young Pretender or Bonnie Prince Charlie. Born in 1720, he would become the face of the Jacobite rising of 1745. The Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746 marked the final confrontation between the Jacobites and their opponents. It was here that Bonnie Prince Charlie's dreams were shattered, his cause crushed by superior forces. This historic event is vividly captured in Cassells Illustrated History of England from c. 1890. Carolina Oliphant immortalized him in her poem "Bonnie Charlie, " which resonated with those who yearned for Scottish independence. A captivating illustration brings this heartfelt tribute to life through vibrant colors and intricate details. One cannot discuss Bonnie Prince Charlie without mentioning his dramatic arrival in Scotland in 1745 when he raised the standard, igniting a flame within his followers' hearts. A striking lithograph showcases this pivotal moment that set events into motion. An autograph penned by Charles Edward Stuart himself gives us a glimpse into the man behind the legend - determined, charismatic, and unyielding in his pursuit for justice. Even after defeat at Culloden, memories lingered on through tangible relics such as a bonnet worn by The Pretender during his time at Holyrood Palace in 1845 – an artifact steeped in history but whose creator remains unknown. Flora Macdonald played an instrumental role in helping Bonnie Prince Charlie escape capture after Culloden. An enchanting mid-19th-century portrait captures her devotion to the cause she held dear. "Prince Charlies Farewell to Flora MacDonald" depicts their poignant parting amidst uncertainty and danger – a scene etched forever into the hearts of those who witnessed their sacrifice.
