EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print depicts the esteemed Sir Thomas More, also known as Saint Thomas More, a prominent figure in English history. Renowned for his intellectual pursuits and political achievements, More was not only a humanist but also served as Chancellor of England during the early 16th century. Engraved by Charles Pye from an original painting by Holbein, this black and white illustration beautifully captures the essence of More's dignified presence. The vertical portrait showcases his distinguished features with remarkable detail and precision. More's legacy is one of great significance, as he played a crucial role in shaping the course of English politics and society during his time. Known for his unwavering commitment to justice and moral principles, he stood firmly against Henry VIII's break with Rome and refused to acknowledge him as Supreme Head of the Church. Despite facing immense pressure to conform, More remained steadfast in his beliefs until the end. His unwavering devotion ultimately led to his martyrdom in 1535 when he was executed for treason. This extraordinary print serves as a timeless reminder of Sir Thomas More's enduring influence on both English history and global humanism. It encapsulates not only his physical appearance but also symbolizes the indomitable spirit that defined him throughout his life.
