EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history during the time of Oliver Cromwell. Titled "Chastising a Quaker at Pauls Cross, Cheapside" it depicts an act of intolerance and cruelty towards the Quaker community. The scene is set at Pauls Cross, a renowned location for public preaching and gatherings. In this powerful image, we witness a group of individuals chastising and beating a defenseless Quaker with whips. The flagellants' actions reflect the prevailing religious intolerance and corporal punishment prevalent during Cromwell's Commonwealth era. The artist skillfully portrays the pain and suffering endured by the Quakers through their expressions of anguish. This print was originally created as an illustration for William M Cooper's book, "A History of the Rod" published around 1880. Despite its disturbing subject matter, this engraving serves as a reminder of past injustices inflicted upon minority religious groups. It stands as evidence that even in times marked by progress and enlightenment, acts of persecution can prevail. Through its digital restoration process, this image has been preserved to ensure its historical significance endures. As viewers engage with this artwork today, they are invited to reflect on our collective responsibility to promote tolerance and respect for all faiths in contemporary society.
