EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, capturing a significant moment in history. Here we see King James II at the Abbey of La Trappe in France, where he sought refuge after being deposed during the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Exiled from his own country, James II found solace in the warm embrace of Louis XIV's France. This image showcases him surrounded by monks, symbolizing his newfound devotion to Catholicism. Despite his failed attempt to regain power through an expedition to Ireland, James remained committed to his faith until his death in 1701. The print beautifully depicts the solemnity and grandeur befitting a monarch. Clad in regal attire, King James II exudes authority and grace as he stands amidst this religious backdrop. The monochrome setting adds depth and intensity to the scene while emphasizing the historical significance it holds. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both political turmoil and personal conviction that shaped this era. It serves as a testament to resilience and unwavering faith even amidst adversity. This remarkable piece from Cassells Illustrated History of England allows us a glimpse into a pivotal chapter in British history - one filled with intrigue, exile, religion, and royalty.
