EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1830 depicts Joanna Southcott, a self-proclaimed religious prophetess of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Despite being dismissed as a domestic servant, Southcott found solace in the Wesleyan Church and declared herself to be a Woman of the Apocalypse. The image showcases her direct gaze, dressed in traditional clothing with a bonnet and hat. The engraving is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. It offers an intriguing glimpse into the life of this eccentric figure who gained notoriety for selling seals of the Lord for eternal life. At the age of 64, Southcott made an astonishing claim – she proclaimed to be pregnant with the new Messiah. This revelation brought her to London under William Sharp's invitation to sell these seals further. Her prophetic beliefs were met with both fascination and skepticism during this time. This portrait captures Joanna Southcott's enigmatic presence as she stands alone against a simple backdrop. It serves as a testament to her impact on British history and religion during that era—a reminder of how individuals can challenge societal norms through their unwavering faith and conviction.
