EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving, created by John Leech and published by Bradbury, Agnew & Co. in 1880, depicts a pivotal moment in English history: Oliver Cromwell's dissolution of the Rump Parliament in 1653. The image captures Cromwell, dressed in a plain coat and hat, forcefully removing the mace from the Commons Chamber, symbolically ending the parliamentary session. In the background, a group of Roundhead soldiers arrest a cavalier, representing the Royalist opposition. The historical context of this scene is the English Civil War, which began in 1642 when King Charles I raised his standard at Nottingham, leading to a series of battles between the Parliamentarians (Roundheads) and the Royalists. The Long Parliament, which had been in session since 1640, had grown increasingly radical, and Cromwell, as its leader, saw the need for a new, more representative assembly. The image also references the Battle of Worcester in 1651, where the Royalist forces, led by Prince Rupert, were defeated, marking the end of the Second Civil War. The defeated royalists, including the King and his family, went into hiding, with the famous story of their escape to Boscobel Wood becoming a popular legend. The caricatured style of this engraving, with its humorous touches and exaggerated features, adds an entertaining dimension to the historical event, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past.
