EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts King Charles II of England, dressed in regal attire, making his triumphant return to London on April 29, 1660, following his exile during the English Civil War and the Interregnum. The scene captured in this image is the Proclamation of the General Pardon, which took place on April 4, 1660, at the Old Palace Yard in Westminster. With the monarchy's restoration in sight, King Charles II sought to heal the wounds of the past and extend forgiveness to those who had supported the opposing sides during the tumultuous period. In this proclamation, the king promised a general pardon for all crimes committed during the English Civil War and the Interregnum, provided that those who recognized his authority came forward and took the oath of allegiance. The king's announcement was met with jubilation from his supporters, who greeted him with enthusiasm and acclamation. The restoration of the monarchy marked the end of the tumultuous period and the beginning of a new chapter in English history. This print serves as a testament to the power of forgiveness and the resilience of the English people during a time of great upheaval.
