EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a significant historical moment as Charles II receives the Duchess of Orleans at Dover in 1670. The artist, William Bromley, skillfully captures the essence of this diplomatic meeting between two powerful figures. Charles II and his sister, Henrietta Anne Stuart, are seen engaging in intense conversation with the duchess. This encounter marked the negotiation of the Secret Treaty of Dover, an alliance that united England and France against their common enemy - the United Provinces of the Netherlands. Henrietta's close relationship with Louis XIV of France adds another layer to this intriguing scene. As her brother-in-law, Louis played a crucial role in strengthening ties between these nations. The engraving enhances the gravity and timelessness of this event from both centuries - seventeenth and nineteenth. It is evident that diplomacy was at play here; every detail in their attire symbolizes power dynamics within royal families. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst political alliances and negotiations, family bonds remain strong. Charles II's interaction with his sister demonstrates their shared responsibility for shaping history. As we delve into this remarkable piece by King Charles II himself alongside Princess Henrietta Anne Stuart, Thomas Stothard's artistic vision brings it to life while William Bromley immortalizes it through his creation. Together they create an everlasting testament to diplomacy during one of history's most transformative eras.
