The captivating print of the "Arrest of Sir John Fenwick, 1696" transports us back to a tumultuous period in British history. This late 19th-century engraving captures the dramatic moment when Sir John Fenwick, an English Jacobite conspirator, is apprehended for his involvement in a rebellion against the crown. Sir John Fenwick, a prominent aristocrat and baronet, was known for his support of the Jacobite cause during the late 17th century. However, his allegiance to this movement ultimately led to his downfall. The arresting scene depicted in this print showcases the bravery and determination of those responsible for capturing him. Fenwick's fate was sealed as he faced charges that would ultimately lead to his beheading in 1697.
