EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Flight of James 2d" takes us back to the historical era of England in the 19th century. The print, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a pivotal moment in history - the escape of King James II. With intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, this artwork brings to life the dramatic scene from David Hume's 1806 edition of "The History of England". Published by R Bowyer in London in 1812, this illustration captures the intensity and urgency surrounding King James II's flight. The image transports us to a time when political turmoil gripped England. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel the tension and fear that must have filled the air during those uncertain times. The composition skillfully portrays King James II as he flees his kingdom, evoking a sense of both vulnerability and determination. Through this print, we are reminded of how art has always played a significant role in documenting historical events. It serves as a visual record that allows us to connect with our past on a deeper level. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us through time and immerse ourselves in history.
