King Charles II's Hideaway in Boscobel Wood: A Moment of Respite Before the Restoration This handcoloured steel engraving, created by John Leech in 1880, depicts a pivotal moment in English history - King Charles II's hiding place in Boscobel Wood after the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The image showcases the Parliamentarian or Roundhead soldiers interrogating the Penderell family, who were unsuspecting Royalists, in their home. The King, however, was hidden in an oak tree nearby, unbeknownst to his inquisitors. The scene is set against a backdrop of a wild and lively dance party. The room is filled with merriment, as people enjoy music, card games, tobacco, smoking, and drinking. The atmosphere is light-hearted and carefree, a stark contrast to the political turmoil outside. The courtesans and fops add an air of sophistication and elegance to the gathering. The engraving, taken from Gilbert Abbott A Beckett's Comic History of England, is a testament to the comical and caricatured nature of historical narratives during the late Victorian era. The handcoloured details bring the image to life, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. As the evening wears on, King Charles II remains hidden in the oak tree, biding his time before making his way to France and eventually returning to England to restore the monarchy in 1660. This engraving serves as a reminder of the intrigue, suspense, and unexpected twists that marked the tumultuous era of the English Civil War and its aftermath.
