The Great Seal Broken, 1646 - A Glimpse into the Turbulent Era of English History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment in English history - the breaking of the Great Seal in 1646. Created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century, this engraving offers us a window into a tumultuous period marked by political upheaval and social change. The image showcases the intricate details of the broken seal, symbolizing a significant turning point during that era. It serves as an illustration for Mason Jackson's book "The Pictorial Press its Origins and Progress" published in 1885. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every line and curve with utmost clarity. Woodcuts like these were commonly used in newspapers and magazines of early journalism to provide visual context to important events. They played a crucial role in bringing news stories to life before photography became widely accessible. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how illustrated papers served as powerful tools for disseminating information during times when literacy rates were lower. The great seal broken represents not only an event but also highlights the significance of pictorial press as it shaped public opinion and fostered dialogue among citizens. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this print has been made available for all art enthusiasts who seek to delve deeper into England's rich historical tapestry.
