EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stern countenance of Edmund Bonner, Bishop of London during the 16th century. Known as "Bloody Bonner" he gained notoriety for his role in persecuting heretics under the Catholic government of Mary I of England. The image is a reproduction from a woodcut found in Foxes Actes and Monuments of the Church, fo. 1563, which was published in Oxford in 1909. In this portrait, Bonner's piercing gaze reflects his unwavering commitment to Roman Catholicism and his determination to uphold its doctrines at any cost. His prominent position within the church hierarchy made him a powerful figure during a tumultuous period in English history. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of historical authenticity to this image. It serves as a reminder of the religious conflicts that shaped England during the 16th century and highlights Bonner's significant role within them. While some may view him as a symbol of religious oppression and persecution, others may see him as someone who fiercely defended their faith against what they considered heretical beliefs. Regardless, this portrait offers us insight into an influential figure whose actions left an indelible mark on English history. This photograph print from Heritage Images allows us to contemplate Edmund Bonner's complex legacy within both religious and political contexts without commercial intentions or affiliations with any company mentioned or implied by these words.
