EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Landing of William Orange in 1688, as depicted in a color plate from the book Pictures of English History. The image showcases the monumental event when William of Orange arrived at Brixham, Devon on November 5th to assert his claim to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland while aiming to overthrow King James II. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details that transport us back to this significant period in British history. A majestic ship can be seen gracefully sailing towards the beach, symbolizing William's arrival and his determination to bring about change. As he steps onto land, dressed regally in traditional Dutch attire and wearing an impressive hat adorned with feathers, he is greeted by a welcoming party. Flags flutter proudly in the wind, representing both Holland and Britain as they unite under William's leadership. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as people gather around him, eager for a new era under his rule. This powerful metaphorical image encapsulates not only an important historical event but also signifies hope for revolution and freedom. The print serves as a reminder of how one person's arrival can shape an entire nation's destiny. It immortalizes this pivotal moment in time when King James II was challenged by Prince William of Orange - forever known as King William III - ultimately leading to what became known as the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
