EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of "Berinus Converting the Saxons to Christianity" in the 18th century. Painted by artist Walker, this image depicts an imagined scene from the conversion of the Kingdom of Wessex to Christianity by Birinus during the 7th century. Birinus, believed to be the first Bishop of Dorchester, stands at the center of attention as he spreads his religious teachings among a group of Saxon men. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of timelessness and gravitas to this significant event in British history. The engraving showcases intricate details that highlight both the clothing styles and facial expressions of each individual present. It is evident that Samuel Wale, who created this piece for Sydney's History of England publication, paid great attention to capturing every aspect faithfully. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time when religion played a pivotal role in shaping countries and cultures. Berinus' determined expression reflects his commitment towards spreading Christianity throughout Wessex while surrounded by attentive Saxons who listen intently to his words. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder not only of our historical roots but also how faith has influenced societies over centuries. It is a testament to human resilience and adaptability as different belief systems merge and shape nations like Britain into what they are today.
