John Walden, Citizen of London - A Glimpse into the Courageous Spirit of the 17th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite illustration from John Foxe's renowned book "Acts and Monuments". The artwork, dating back to the ninth edition published in 1684, captures the essence of John Walden, a prominent citizen of London during that era. In this striking portrait, Walden stands proudly with his coat adorned with a magnificent coat of arms. His fur-lined attire exudes elegance and sophistication while adding warmth to his distinguished appearance. A hat sits atop his head, complementing his oval face framed by a well-groomed beard. Walden's half-length portrayal reveals a man who has lived through seven decades (aetat 70), displaying wisdom and resilience etched onto every line on his face. This engraving not only immortalizes him but also pays tribute to those who bravely stood for their beliefs during challenging times. The inclusion of this illustration in Foxe's "Acts and Monuments" commonly known as "Foxe's Book of Martyrs" further emphasizes its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the religious persecution endured by many during the seventeenth century. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Sturt in litho form centuries later, we are transported back in time to witness the strength and determination embodied by individuals like John Walden—a testament to their unwavering spirit amidst adversity.
