EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, specifically the 1550s, where we find ourselves in the infamous Lollards Tower. The image showcases a scene of great historical significance - prisoners confined within the tower's walls. Originally published in John Foxe's Book of Martyrs in 1563, this illustration provides a straight-forward depiction of four lollard prisoners: Thomas Leyes, John Wade, George King, and William Andrewe. These men were subjected to cruel treatment as they found themselves confined within the stocks. The concept of confinement and crime is vividly portrayed here, reminding us of England's tumultuous religious history during that time. Lollardy was a religious movement considered heretical by mainstream Christianity. These brave individuals paid the price for their beliefs as they faced imprisonment for their faith. The location itself adds another layer of intrigue to this photograph; St Paul's Cathedral stands tall in the background, serving as a reminder that religion played an integral role in society during this period. As we delve into British history through this monochrome print from Walter Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation (c1920s), we are transported back to an era filled with religious fervor and persecution. This compelling image serves as a testament to human resilience and reminds us how far society has come since those dark days.
