EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the final moments of Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland, during the First Battle of Newbury in Berkshire on 20 September 1643. The English Civil War (1642-1651) was a pivotal period in British history, marked by political and religious upheaval. Cary, a prominent Royalist commander, is depicted here in the thick of the battle, surrounded by his troops and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with Parliamentarian forces, also known as Roundheads. Dressed in the ornate armor and finery of the era, Cary rides his horse with determination and courage, brandishing a sword in one hand and a pistol in the other. His expression is resolute, yet the exhaustion and strain of battle are etched on his face. The scene is chaotic, with men and horses rearing and charging in every direction. Suddenly, a shot rings out, and Cary's horse rears in pain, throwing its rider to the ground. The Viscount falls, mortally wounded, as his men rally around him. The image captures the raw emotion and intensity of the conflict, as well as the tragic consequences of war. This powerful print, created in the 17th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political and military turmoil. It is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the sacrifices made by those who fought on the battlefields of England during the 1640s.
