This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Acquittal of the Seven Bishops, 1688". Illustrated from H. D. M. Spence-Jones' book, "The Church of England: A History for the People" this lithograph showcases an event that took place during the seventeenth century. In this sepia-toned image, we witness justice prevailing as seven clergymen are declared not guilty after being accused of treason against King James II.

As influential church leaders, their release symbolized a triumph for Protestantism and marked a turning point in English history. The courtroom scene depicted here is filled with tension and anticipation.

It stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment towards upholding their beliefs amidst political turmoil.
