EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 17th century amidst the chaos of the English Civil War. The image showcases a facsimile of a letter written by John Hampden, one of the prominent Parliamentarian figures of that time. This particular correspondence was penned shortly after the Battle of Edgehill on October 31st, 1642. The battle itself had been indecisive, leaving both sides uncertain about their next moves. In his letter, Hampden urgently implores Colonel Bulstrode and other Parliamentary officers from Buckinghamshire not to disband their troops despite the inconclusive outcome. His words carry weight as he emphasizes the importance of unity and perseverance in such tumultuous times. The photograph allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the intricate details within this artifact. We can observe Hampden's own handwriting in vivid color, showcasing his personal touch and commitment to his cause. The signature at its conclusion serves as a reminder that these events were shaped by real individuals who fought for what they believed in. This remarkable piece from Heritage Images offers us an intimate glimpse into a pivotal moment during England's turbulent past.
