EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Nicholas Ridley, an influential English Bishop of London during the 16th century. The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator for Alfred Howard's "Biographical Illustrations" captures Ridley's profound gaze as he stands tall with a commanding presence. Ridley was a man of great intellect and education, having studied at RGS Newcastle and Pembroke College, Cambridge. However, his unwavering support for Lady Jane Grey and his teachings that challenged prevailing religious beliefs led to his tragic fate. During the Marian Persecutions under Queen Mary I (also known as Bloody Mary), Ridley was burned at the stake as one of Oxford Martyrs. The photograph portrays Ridley dressed in traditional attire befitting his position as a bishop. His long beard adds to his distinguished appearance, symbolizing wisdom and maturity. With a book held firmly in hand, it is evident that literature played a significant role in shaping his ideas. This historical artifact offers us a glimpse into England's turbulent past during the English Reformation era. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Ridley who stood up for their beliefs despite facing persecution and martyrdom. Preserved through time, this engraving allows us to connect with our country's rich history while contemplating the resilience and courage displayed by those who fought for religious freedom centuries ago.
