EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Associates of the Witches of Belvoir" takes us back to 17th century England, where witchcraft was met with fear and persecution. The image showcases four Leicestershire women, Anne Baker, Joanne Willimott, Ellen Greene, and Margaret Flower alongside her daughter Philippa Flower. These courageous ladies are seen posing confidently with their beloved pets and familiars. The composition is striking as it captures the essence of these women's connection to nature and mysticism. A majestic owl perches on one woman's shoulder while a beautiful feline companion rests comfortably in another's lap. A loyal dog stands faithfully by their side as they hold onto their crutches for support. It is important to note that this photograph commemorates the memory of Margaret and Philippa Flower who were unjustly accused of witchcraft during this dark period in history. Tragically, they were convicted and burned at Lincoln in 1619. Through this powerful engraving by Anne Baker, Ellen Greene, Joanne Willimott, Margaret Flower, Philippa Flower (and an unknown creator), we are reminded of the strength and resilience displayed by these women despite facing persecution for their beliefs. It serves as a poignant reminder that history should not forget those who suffered injustice due to superstition or ignorance.
