EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Discovery of the Duke of Monmouth disguised as a peasant near Ringwood, Hampshire on 8 July 1685. The Duke of Monmouth, an illegitimate son of King Charles II, led a rebellion against his uncle King James II in an attempt to claim the throne for himself.
In this image, we see the Duke of Monmouth hiding in plain sight, cleverly disguised as a humble peasant. His cunning disguise allowed him to evade capture for some time as he roamed through Surrey, Middlesex, and Berkshire before being discovered in Hampshire.
The year is 1685 and tensions are high as authorities search tirelessly for the rebellious duke. But it was only a matter of time before he was found out by Rawlings and his men.
Terry Parker's expertly captured moment freezes in time this dramatic event that would go down in history books. The lush green field serves as a stark contrast to the intense political intrigue unfolding within its borders.
This print is not just a stunning visual representation but also serves as a reminder of the lengths people will go to fight for their beliefs and ambitions. It encapsulates both bravery and deception intertwined in one frame.
