EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in English history - the invitation of William of Orange and his Consort Mary by Parliament to accept the crown. The image, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the grandeur and significance of this glorious event. Intricately detailed, the print depicts William and Mary standing side by side, surrounded by members of Parliament who have gathered to extend their invitation. The composition exudes power and authority as they are presented with the symbol of ultimate sovereignty - the crown. This historic scene represents more than just a transfer of power; it marks a turning point for England. Known as the Glorious Revolution, this event brought about significant political changes that would shape the nation's future. It was through this invitation that William and Mary solidified their reign as joint monarchs, ushering in an era defined by constitutional monarchy. The digital cleaning process has enhanced every intricate detail within this engraving, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even more vividly. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork serves as a reminder of how one momentous decision forever altered England's course. As we gaze upon this image from John Cassells Illustrated History of England (W Kent, 1857/1858), we cannot help but be transported back in time - witnessing firsthand a crucial chapter in British history unfold before our eyes.
