EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative early 17th century image from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we find a watchman diligently carrying out his duties during the reign of King James I. The watchman, clad in a heavy coat and a fur-trimmed hat, holds a lantern in one hand and a spear in the other, ready to defend against any threat that may arise. His long, flowing beard and furrowed brow convey a sense of seriousness and determination. The watchman's gaze is fixed on the horizon, scanning the days for any signs of danger. The backdrop of a dark, ominous sky adds to the sense of foreboding, while the flickering light of his lantern cuts through the darkness, providing a beacon of security in the uncertain world of the early 17th century. King James I, who ruled from 1603 to 1625, was known for his efforts to maintain law and order in his kingdom. The watchman in this image is a testament to the importance of security and patrols during this time, as well as the ever-present need for vigilance in the face of potential threats. This powerful image, with its rich historical context, is a reminder of the role that watchmen played in ensuring the safety and security of communities during the early modern period. It also serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and duties of those who guarded the streets and protected the people of the time of King James I.
