EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in English history, depicting "The Bishops of Stasaph-Chester-Bath & Wells- Ely and Peterborough" as they present their petition to King James II. The year is 1787, and the scene takes place within the confines of an elegant interior. The bishops, dressed in their religious attire, kneel before the monarch with utmost reverence. Judge Jeffries presides over this solemn occasion, symbolizing justice and law. The bishop's petition represents a plea for their rights and beliefs amidst a backdrop of political turmoil during the reign of James II. Their commitment to this cause is evident as they face potential imprisonment in the Tower. This historic image offers us a glimpse into 17th-century Britain, showcasing not only its religious landscape but also its literary heritage. It comes from George Frederick Raymond's renowned work titled "A New Universal and Impartial History of England" which provides valuable insights into England's past up until winter 1784. As we contemplate this powerful portrait, we are reminded of the pivotal role played by religion in shaping society at that time. Moreover, it serves as a testament to individuals who were willing to stand up for their beliefs even when faced with adversity.
