EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the 17th century during the tumultuous English Civil Wars. The scene depicts Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth, making a momentous discovery at the historic Blue Boar Inn in Holborn, London. Mounted on his noble steed, Cromwell is shown engrossed in reading a letter that he has just discovered. His intense gaze reflects both surprise and intrigue as he unravels its contents. This pivotal moment captures the essence of war and political upheaval that defined this era. The artist E Kretzschniar skillfully portrays not only Cromwell's determination but also his deep connection with his horse - a symbol of strength and loyalty amidst chaos. The attention to detail in depicting both man and beast showcases Kretzschniar's artistic prowess. The Blue Boar Inn stands tall behind them, its weathered facade bearing witness to countless historical events unfolding within its walls. Its significance as a meeting place for influential figures during this time adds an extra layer of intrigue to the scene. This powerful engraving was originally published in Cassell's Illustrated History of England in 1902. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact that Oliver Cromwell had on British history and politics. Through this print, we are transported back to an era where letters held immense power and discoveries could shape nations.
