EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases a remarkable moment in history as "The Queen of King James II crosses the Thames in the night with her infant son". The image transports us to a moonlit scene, where we witness this courageous queen navigating the river's currents under cover of darkness. Intriguingly, Lambeth Palace stands proudly in the background, its majestic architecture providing an enchanting backdrop to this clandestine journey. The rowboat glides silently through the water, guided by skilled oarsmen who navigate with precision and grace. As they make their way across the Thames, one cannot help but feel a sense of anticipation and trepidation for what lies ahead. The queen's infant son rests peacefully in her arms, symbolizing hope for their uncertain future. This tender moment between mother and child is beautifully captured, evoking both vulnerability and strength. London's iconic buildings line the riverbanks, serving as silent witnesses to this secret passage. Transportation on the Thames takes on new meaning here; it becomes more than just a means of getting from one place to another. It represents escape, resilience, and determination against all odds. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print by English School from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded of historical events that shaped our world today. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of adversity and uncertainty, love and courage can prevail – crossing not only physical boundaries but also those imposed by society itself.
