EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the meeting between King Charles II of England and the Duchess of Orleans at Dover in 1670. Painted by William Bromley in 1804, this engraving depicts an alliance that would shape the course of European diplomacy. In this image, we see King Charles II standing tall, his regal presence commanding attention. Beside him stands his sister, Henrietta Anne Stuart, known for her close relationship with Louis XIV of France. It was through her influence that the Secret Treaty of Dover was negotiated - a pact between England and France against their common enemy, the United Provinces of the Netherlands. The artist skillfully captures the tension and anticipation in this historic encounter. The expressions on their faces reveal both determination and intrigue as they discuss matters of state. The attire worn by all parties reflects their status and power within society. This print transports us back to a time when alliances were forged through personal relationships rather than political maneuvering alone. It serves as a reminder that even amidst royal splendor, decisions made behind closed doors can have far-reaching consequences for nations. As we gaze upon this piece from centuries past, we are reminded of how interconnected our world has always been - where family ties could shape international relations and where diplomacy played out against a backdrop of opulence and grandeur.
