The Cherished Object of Mary - A Humorous Take on Restoring the Catholic Religion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this comical engraving from the 19th century, we are transported back to 1554 and witness Queen Mary's determined quest to restore the Catholic religion in England. The image captures a lighthearted moment as her chief counsellors, Bishops Gardiner and Bonner, offer their guidance with amusing expressions. The artist's playful approach adds a touch of humor to this historical scene. With exaggerated features and exaggerated gestures, the engraving invites us to chuckle at the absurdity of it all. It is evident that even in such serious matters as religious restoration, there is room for levity. Mary's cherished object becomes clear through this artwork - she yearns for a return to Catholicism in England. However, instead of presenting her advisors as stern figures engrossed in solemn discussions, they are depicted here with whimsy and wit. This print not only provides an amusing twist on history but also offers insight into how people throughout time have used humor to cope with challenging situations. It reminds us that even during periods of great change or upheaval, laughter can serve as a source of comfort and resilience. So let us appreciate this delightful portrayal of Queen Mary's mission while recognizing its underlying message: sometimes it takes a bit of humor to navigate through complex historical events like restoring an entire religion!
