EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British history - "The Crown Offered to William and Mary, 1689". Created by the talented artist Herbert Bourne in 1886, this illustration depicts the historic event when King William III and Queen Mary II were presented with the crown by the Lords and Commons at Whitehall on February 12th, 1689. The image showcases a solemn scene filled with political symbolism. The central figures are King William III and Queen Mary II, both dressed in regal attire. Surrounding them are members of the House of Lords and House of Commons, representing British politics during that era. The composition exudes a sense of grandeur as they offer the crown to their new monarchs. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fur trim on robes can be seen clearly, adding texture to this monochrome engraving. The artist Edgar Melville Ward's influence is evident through his precise portrayal of each individual present at this pivotal moment. This print serves as a window into seventeenth-century Britain, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its rich history. It reminds us of the power dynamics within monarchy while also capturing an air of melancholy associated with such monumental changes. A true masterpiece from Thomas Archer's "Illustration of English and Scottish History" it stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with royalty and their impact on society throughout time.
