EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable story of Mary Fisher, a Quaker woman who lived during the 17th century. Mary Fisher was known for her courageous attempt to convert the Turkish Sultan to Quakerism, despite facing persecution and mistreatment from her own people. Surprisingly, it was the Sultan who treated her with kindness and respect, in stark contrast to how she was treated by those who shared her beliefs.
The image portrays Mary Fisher's resilience and determination as she faced adversity in pursuit of spreading her faith. Despite being whipped and imprisoned by her own community, she remained steadfast in her mission. Eventually, Mary Fisher made the bold decision to travel to America, where she continued to advocate for religious freedom and tolerance.
Mary Fisher's story is a testament to the power of conviction and perseverance in the face of opposition. Her legacy serves as an inspiration for all who strive to stand up for their beliefs, even when met with resistance. This print is a poignant reminder of Mary Fisher's unwavering commitment to justice and equality during a tumultuous period in history.
