EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in British history, depicting William Lenthall, the Speaker of the House of Commons, fleeing to join the Puritan army during the 17th century. In this full-length portrait, Lenthall can be seen running with great determination while clutching the Mace, a powerful symbol of Parliamentary authority. The image is inspired by a set of satirical Cavalier playing cards that mocked the Puritans. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of a fortified structure, representing both physical and political power. It serves as a reminder of the intense political climate and ideological divide prevalent during this era. Only men are present in this illustration and painting, reflecting societal norms at that time. Lenthall's decision to align himself with the Puritan cause was significant in shaping British politics and religion. This image encapsulates his commitment to puritanism amidst turbulent times filled with political upheaval. The vertical composition emphasizes Lenthall's swift movement as he navigates through an outdoor setting. The use of text adds depth to this historical depiction while Roman numerals evoke a sense of authenticity and antiquity. This print not only showcases an important figure in British culture but also highlights key themes such as power struggles, religious ideologies, and political dynamics that continue to shape our understanding of history today.
