EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Signing of the National Covenant in Greyfriars Churchyard 1638" takes us back in time to a significant moment in British history. The image, originally published in Cassells History of the British People by the Waverley Book Company Limited around 1940, showcases an engraving by William Brassey Hole. The scene unfolds within the solemn confines of Greyfriars Churchyard, London. A group of individuals dressed in period costumes gather together, their faces filled with determination and conviction. They are signing the National Covenant, a pivotal document that symbolized Scotland's resistance against religious oppression imposed by King Charles I. Hole's meticulous attention to detail transports us into this historic event as we witness each figure carefully inscribing their name on parchment. The atmosphere is charged with intensity and unity as these brave souls pledge their allegiance to defend Presbyterianism and protect Scotland's religious freedoms. This lithograph not only captures a specific moment but also serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and the struggles endured for freedom throughout history. It offers us an opportunity to reflect upon the importance of preserving our cultural heritage while inspiring us to stand up for what we believe in today. Displayed proudly on any wall or mantelpiece, this print from Bridgeman Images evokes both admiration for its artistic merit and reverence for its historical significance.
