EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century print depicts King William III of England, also known as William III of Orange, and his consort, Queen Mary II, holding the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights, signed in 1689, marked the end of the reign of King James II and the beginning of the Glorious Revolution. William III, a Dutch prince, was invited to lead the rebellion against James II and was subsequently crowned King of England and Ireland, and jointly with his wife, Mary II, who was James II's daughter, they ruled as co-monarchs. The image presents a powerful allegory of the new monarchs' commitment to upholding the principles of the Bill of Rights, symbolized by the open book in William's hand. The intricate design of the print, with its ornate border and delicate details, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the era. Mary, dressed in regal attire, stands beside her husband, her hand resting gently on his, signifying their unity and partnership in governance. The print also carries an air of mythological significance, with the couple depicted as heroic figures, bringing peace and stability to England after a tumultuous period. The Dutch connection is emphasized through William's title as Prince of Orange, a reference to his birthplace. The print serves as a testament to the rich history of England and the complex web of political alliances and events that shaped the monarchy during this period.
