EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in English history - the solemn procession of The Seven Bishops of the Church of England as they make their way to the Tower of London in 1688. Imprisoned and tried for seditious libel, these brave men faced persecution due to their unwavering opposition to James II's Second Declaration of Indulgence. The image, sourced from J. R. Green's renowned book "Short History of the English People" published in London in 1893, transports us back to a time when religious tensions ran high. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we witness not only the physical journey undertaken by these bishops but also their unwavering commitment to upholding their beliefs. The imposing Tower of London looms behind them, symbolizing both imprisonment and power. It serves as a stark reminder that even those who hold positions within the Church were not immune to political turmoil during this era. Ken Welsh's expertly captured photograph allows us to reflect on an important chapter in English history where individuals stood firm against oppression and fought for what they believed was right. This image is a testament to resilience and courage, reminding us that even amidst adversity, voices can be raised against injustice.
