EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment, showcasing the scene of Dr. John King, Bishop of London, preaching before the esteemed audience of King James I, Queen Anne, and the Prince of Wales at Pauls Cross in 1616. The engraving by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century beautifully depicts this grand spectacle. The image transports us back to a time when open-air sermons held great importance and power. As Dr. John King stands tall in his pulpit adorned with gothic architecture, he delivers his impassioned sermon to a vast congregation that fills every corner of Pauls Cross. The crowd is captivated by his words as they listen attentively to his message. In this historic gathering, we witness not only religious devotion but also the presence of royalty. The regal figures seated on their thrones signify the significance bestowed upon this event by King James I himself and highlight the close relationship between religion and monarchy during that era. The print evokes a sense of awe and reverence for both the preacher's eloquence and the architectural marvel surrounding him. It serves as a testament to faith's influence on society while offering us a glimpse into England's rich cultural heritage. As part of Bridgeman Images' collection, this remarkable artwork allows us to appreciate history through visual storytelling—a window into an era where religion played an integral role in shaping societal values and beliefs.
