EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, we are transported back to the 19th century as we witness a significant moment in British history. The scene depicts King William III entrusting the young Duke of Gloucester into the care of Bishop Burnett, symbolizing the passing down of power and responsibility. Surrounded by a group of men and women, including members of royalty and religious figures, this portrait captures both the political and religious significance of the event. The presence of Bishop Burnett highlights the importance placed on Christianity during this era. The composition is strikingly monochrome, emphasizing the gravity and solemnity of this historical moment. Every detail has been meticulously engraved by an unknown creator, showcasing their skill in capturing not only physical likeness but also conveying emotion through intricate lines. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at witnessing such a pivotal moment in British monarchy unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that even in an age dominated by male rulership, women played crucial roles within these circles - evident through their inclusion alongside powerful men. This remarkable piece is part of The Print Collector collection curated by Cassell & Co. , offering us glimpses into Britain's rich heritage through stunning engravings like this one.
