EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cruelties of the Cavaliers, 1644" takes us back to a dark period in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving depicts the brutalities committed by the cavaliers during the English Civil War. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in Mason Jackson's book "The Pictorial Press its Origins and Progress" published in 1885. The scene portrayed here is hauntingly vivid, showcasing the horrors endured by innocent civilians at the hands of these ruthless cavalier soldiers. With meticulous detail and expert craftsmanship, every stroke on this woodcut tells a story of pain and suffering. Although digitally cleaned for preservation purposes, it still retains its original power to evoke strong emotions. This artwork serves as a reminder of how journalism played a crucial role even during those early times when newspapers were just emerging as illustrated publications. It captures not only historical events but also highlights the importance of visual storytelling through pictorial press. Bridgeman Images has done justice to this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago, witnessing firsthand the cruelties inflicted upon innocent lives – an enduring testament to humanity's capacity for both compassion and cruelty throughout history.
