EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Solomon Eagle preaching during the devastating plague of London. Engraved by J. & G. P. Nicholls, this powerful image depicts Solomon Eccles, also known as Solomon Eagle, an English composer turned preacher. In the midst of chaos and despair, Solomon Eagle emerges as a symbol of unwavering faith and determination. With a brazier of live coals balanced on his head, he fearlessly proclaims judgement and punishment for wickedness upon the City of London during the Great Plague of 1665. The intensity in his eyes reflects his fervent belief that divine retribution is at hand. As bodies lie scattered around him, victims of the deadly disease that ravaged the city, he stands tall with conviction. Solomon's actions embody both prophesying and fanaticism; driven by religious zeal to warn others about their sins amidst imminent death. This image serves as a reminder not only of the horrors endured during one of history's deadliest pandemics but also highlights the power religion held over people's lives in times of crisis. As we gaze upon this lithograph from Paul Falconer Poole's Private Collection, we are transported back to a time when faith was tested against unimaginable adversity. It invites us to reflect on how individuals find solace and purpose even in moments when all hope seems lost.
