MARY OF MODENA, 1688 - A Glimpse into a Royal Escape

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Mary of Modena, the consort of King James II of England, flees Whitehall with her newborn son on December 19th, 1688. The image is an exquisite contemporary engraving that transports us back to this dramatic event. In the midst of the Glorious Revolution, when political tensions ran high and power shifted rapidly, Mary's escape becomes a symbol of hope and resilience. Her determination to protect her child from impending danger is palpable as she boards a late barge on the River Thames. Men surround her, ready to ensure their safe passage. The exterior setting adds depth and realism to this historical scene. The river serves as both a means of transportation and an element of uncertainty; its calm waters juxtaposed against the turbulent times they navigate. As they sail away from Whitehall - once their seat of power - one can only imagine the mixtures of fear and determination etched upon their faces. Little did they know that Mary's newborn son would grow up to be known as "the Old Pretender" forever linked to this daring escape. This engraving not only immortalizes this significant moment but also invites us to reflect upon the complexities faced by those who find themselves at odds with destiny. Through this remarkable artwork by The Granger Collection, we are transported back in time – witnessing firsthand how love for family can drive even
