EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of the Proclamation of Naval War with Holland before the Royal Exchange in the City of London on 4 March 1665. The year was 1665, and tensions between England and the Dutch Republic had reached a boiling point. King Charles II, determined to assert English dominance at sea, ordered the proclamation of war to be read aloud to the public. The scene is one of fanfare and pomp. A herald, dressed in the robes of office and carrying the royal mace, stands atop a makeshift platform, flanked by two soldiers. He raises his right hand, holding a scroll bearing the king's decree, while a trumpeter sounds the call to attention. The crowd below, a sea of hats and coats, listens intently, their faces a mix of curiosity, concern, and patriotic fervor. The Royal Exchange, a symbol of commerce and trade, serves as the backdrop to this momentous occasion. The exchange's ornate columns and intricate heraldic designs add a sense of grandeur and importance to the scene. The banners and pennants hanging from the exchange's roof, bearing the insignia of various guilds and companies, flutter in the breeze. The Proclamation of Naval War with Holland marked the beginning of the Second Anglo-Dutch War, a conflict that would last for over three years and see some of the most significant naval battles in history. This image offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in English history, a moment when the call to arms was sounded, and the nation prepared for war.
