EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a portion of a letter written by King Charles II to Sir George Downing, offering us a glimpse into the rich history and royal correspondence of England. The intricate details of the handwriting and autograph highlight the elegance and sophistication associated with the kings and queens of England. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. It was originally featured as an illustration in "The Handwriting of the Kings and Queens of England" by W J Hardy, published by Religious Tract Society in 1893. As we examine this piece, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate exchange between two influential figures. The document serves as both a historical record and an example of King Charles II's personal handwriting style. Notably, this letter holds significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It sheds light on diplomatic relations between England and France during that era, providing insight into European politics at the time. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we gain access to a tangible connection with royalty - their thoughts penned on paper for all eternity. This visual representation invites us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the cultural heritage embedded within each stroke of ink.
