EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in British history, showcasing the disarray and disorder that plagued the march north to Finchley during the Second Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. The image, derived from an engraving of William Hogarth's renowned painting "The March of the Guards to Finchley" offers a fascinating glimpse into this tumultuous period. Set against a backdrop of bustling Tottenham Court Road, we witness a motley crew of British troops congregating on the street.

As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that it is not just another commercial reproduction but rather a window into our past. It serves as a reminder that even in times marked by disorder and uncertainty, there exists resilience within humanity.
