The Flight of James II, 1688 - A Failed Attempt at Escape
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in British history - the failed escape of King James II from England to France on December 11th, 1688. Illustrated by Andrew Carrick Gow and featured in Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation around 1923, this lithograph offers a glimpse into the dramatic events surrounding the Glorious Revolution. In this scene, we witness James II desperately trying to flee his kingdom amidst political turmoil. Standing on a discrete jetty, he boards a rowing boat with hopes of reaching safety across the English Channel. The defeated ruler is accompanied by loyal followers as they embark on their ill-fated journey. The image portrays both tension and determination as James II faces an uncertain future. His departure signifies not only his personal exile but also marks a significant turning point for Great Britain. The Glorious Revolution would ultimately lead to William III and Mary II ascending to power and establishing constitutional monarchy in England. Through this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the complexities and struggles faced by those who held positions of authority during turbulent times. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder that even rulers are not immune to defeat or forced displacement. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection today, this remarkable piece allows us to reflect upon one chapter in Britain's rich tapestry while contemplating its lasting impact on our nation's governance and identity.
