EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""Mountain Delectable they now ascend" from The Pilgrim" takes us on a visual journey through John Bunyan's renowned allegorical novel, "The Pilgrim's Progress From This World, To That Which Is To Come". In this 17th-century artwork by an unknown artist, we witness the meeting of Christian and Hopeful with the Shepherds: Knowledge, Experience, Watchful, and Sincere. The image transports us to a serene landscape where peace and tranquility prevail. A faithful dog accompanies the protagonists as they traverse a winding path towards their ultimate destination – the Celestial City. With book in hand and walking sticks for support, Christian and Hopeful embark on their spiritual odyssey filled with trials and tribulations. Symbolism abounds in this woodcut engraving. The shepherds represent guides who offer wisdom and guidance along life's arduous journey. Their presence signifies moral values such as knowledge, experience, watchfulness, sincerity – virtues that aid our everyman characters in attaining eternal life. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this illustration captures both the essence of Bunyan's timeless masterpiece and the spirit of 17th-century literature. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there is comfort to be found in faith and companionship. This remarkable piece invites viewers to delve into the rich tapestry of religious symbolism while appreciating its artistic beauty. As we gaze upon it with awe-inspiring wonderment, we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for truth and salvation throughout history.
