EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the triumphant entry of Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex into London following his victory in the First Battle of Newbury during the English Civil War in September 1643. Essex, a prominent Parliamentarian commander, led his forces against the Royalist army, resulting in a hard-fought draw that significantly boosted morale for the Parliamentarian cause. The image portrays Essex riding on horseback, surrounded by a throng of people lining the streets of London. The crowds eagerly welcome their hero, extending their hands in admiration and waving various objects, possibly flags or handkerchiefs, as a sign of loyalty and support. Essex's horse, adorned with a red and white pennon, proudly carries the earl's standard, symbolizing his status as a victorious military leader. The 17th-century scene is filled with a sense of excitement and jubilation, as the people of London celebrate their Parliamentarian forces' success in the ongoing conflict. The event marked a pivotal moment in the English Civil War, which lasted from 1642 to 1651, and helped to solidify support for the Parliamentarian cause against King Charles I. This historical print, created by Terry Parker, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to visualize the enthusiasm and camaraderie that accompanied a significant military victory during the tumultuous 1640s.
