EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic image of George Fox, the founder of the Quakers, dating back to the 17th century. Created by Whymper, a renowned artist of his time, this portrait showcases Fox's distinctive appearance and strong presence. George Fox (1624-1691) was a key figure in religious history as he established the Society of Friends or Quakers. Known for their simplicity and pacifism, Quakerism gained popularity across England and later spread to North America. This particular print highlights Fox's influence during his extensive travels through the North American colonies between 1671-1673. Dressed in traditional English attire with a hat that symbolizes his faith, George Fox gazes upward with an air of determination on his face. His head and shoulders dominate the frame, emphasizing his role as a leader within the movement. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this engraving. Displayed in Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier, Volume I from c1880 London edition published by Cassell Petter and Galpin; this print serves as a historical testament to George Fox's significant impact on Christianity during this era. As we observe this powerful portrayal today, it reminds us of George Fox's unwavering commitment to religious freedom and social justice – values that continue to resonate within Quaker communities worldwide.
