EDITORS COMMENTS
Satire on Puritan Milit: A Witty Commentary on the Puritan Military Skills during the English Civil War (circa 1642) This intriguing print, titled "Satire on Puritan Milit: Waller Loses Two Armies Yet Gets by the Bargain," offers a humorous and insightful commentary on the military prowess of the Puritan forces during the English Civil War. Dated circa 1642, this satire comes from a time when the Puritan forces, led by the capable General Waller, were facing significant challenges on the battlefield. The image depicts a chaotic scene, with soldiers from both sides engaged in a frenzied melee. In the foreground, a group of Puritan soldiers can be seen in disarray, with some fleeing the battlefield and others seemingly more interested in plundering the spoils of war. In the background, the opposing forces, likely Royalists, are shown advancing with a sense of order and discipline. Despite the apparent chaos and disorganization among the Puritan ranks, General Waller is shown standing calmly atop a hill, observing the battle with a smug expression on his face. The caption beneath the print explains that Waller has managed to lose two armies but still comes out on top due to a favorable bargain. This satire suggests that the Puritan military skills were lacking, and their leaders were able to secure victories through political maneuvering and negotiation rather than military prowess. The print serves as a fascinating snapshot of the English Civil War, offering a unique perspective on the military strategies and tactics of the time. Its witty commentary and insightful observations continue to intrigue historians and enthusiasts of British history today.
