EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled ""He stretched forth his burning hands, and clapped them three times together"" by James Abbott Pasquier evokes a powerful sense of religious martyrdom. The image depicts a significant moment from "The Book of Martyrs" by John Foxe, edited by William Bramley-Moore in the late 19th century. In the scene, we witness Thomas Haukes (or Hawkes), a Protestant martyr, bravely stretching out his burning hands and clapping them together three times. This act symbolizes his unwavering faith and defiance against persecution for his religious beliefs. The intensity of the flames surrounding him emphasizes the immense sacrifice he is making. Through this artwork, Pasquier skillfully captures the essence of Christian devotion and martyrdom. It serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by early Protestants who stood firm in their faith despite facing grave consequences. The composition not only showcases Haukes' physical suffering but also highlights the spiritual strength that guided him through such trials. The engraving invites viewers to reflect on their own convictions and contemplate what they would be willing to endure for their beliefs. Overall, this print offers an insightful glimpse into an important chapter in Christian history while reminding us of the enduring power of faith even in moments of extreme adversity.
