EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures a pivotal moment in the history of the Church of England - The Seven Bishops making their way to the Tower of London in 1688. These brave men were imprisoned and tried for seditious libel due to their opposition to James II's second Declaration of Indulgence.
As they are rowed down the Thames towards their fate, one can only imagine the mix of emotions running through their minds - fear, defiance, and perhaps even a sense of duty to stand up for what they believed was right.
The image is a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by those who dared to challenge authority and fight for religious freedom. It serves as a testament to the courage and conviction of these bishops, who were willing to sacrifice their own freedom in order to uphold their principles.
In today's world where freedom of speech and religion are often taken for granted, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who came before us. It is a piece of history that should be cherished and remembered, honoring those who stood up against tyranny in defense of their beliefs.
