EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Cromwell and Hampden, 1902" captures a moment of historical significance. It is believed that Oliver Cromwell and John Hampden, key figures in the English Civil War, contemplated moving to America during the 1630s. This intriguing possibility is depicted in this artwork by Patten Wilson. In this monochrome image, two men are engaged in an intense discussion on board a ship. Dressed in traditional English attire of the seventeenth century, they exude an air of importance and determination. The artist skillfully portrays their gestures and expressions as they exchange ideas and plot strategies. The setting evokes a sense of anticipation as the vastness of water stretches out behind them, symbolizing both opportunity and uncertainty. Perhaps these influential individuals were considering new beginnings across the Atlantic Ocean. This engraving was featured in Charles Dickens' book "A Child's History of England" adding further weight to its historical significance. Dickens himself was renowned for his ability to bring history alive through literature. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the complex web of events that shaped our world centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even great leaders like Cromwell and Hampden had moments where they pondered different paths for themselves and their causes.
