EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile of an old plate from the folio edition of Foxe's "Book of Martyrs" engraved by an English School artist in the 19th century. The image depicts a powerful scene from Christian history, capturing the essence of religious persecution and martyrdom. In this illustration for John Foxe's renowned book, edited by William Bramley-Moore around 1880, we witness a group of Protestant bishops being burned at the stake. The figures portrayed include Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley, two prominent martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their beliefs during the tumultuous times of religious conflict. This visual representation transports us back to Oxford, where these brave individuals faced their place of martyrdom. The intricate details and skillful engraving bring forth a sense of solemnity and reverence towards these historical events. It serves as a reminder not only of the struggles endured by early Protestants but also highlights the enduring power and resilience found within Christian faith. As we gaze upon this facsimile in awe, it prompts contemplation on themes such as religion, preaching, martyrdom, and Christian values. It is through works like these that we can appreciate both artistry and historical significance while reflecting on our own spiritual journeys.
