EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable armour worn by James II during the historic Battle of the Boyne in 1690. From the pages of J. R. Green's renowned book, "Short History of the English People" published in London back in 1893, this image transports us to a pivotal moment in history. The intricately crafted protective covering epitomizes the essence of seventeenth-century armour, reflecting both its functional purpose and artistic beauty. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of James II's unwavering determination to defend his cause on that fateful day. The battle itself was a turning point for England and Ireland, as it marked a significant clash between Protestant William III and Catholic James II for control over these lands. This photograph captures not only an artifact but also serves as a symbol of resilience and power amidst adversity. Ken Welsh's expert lens skillfully captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship behind this historical artefact. The play of light on metal highlights its strength while evoking a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. As we admire this relic from centuries past, let us reflect on how such pieces embody our collective human desire for protection and security throughout time. It is through images like these that history comes alive before our eyes – reminding us that even within battles waged long ago, there lies timeless wisdom waiting to be discovered anew.
