EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bishop Hooper, a prominent figure in the 16th-century religious reform movement. The illustration is taken from "The Church of England: A History for the People" by H. D. M. Spence-Jones, published around 1910. In this sepia-toned lithograph, created by an anonymous English artist from the 16th century and now part of a private collection, Bishop Hooper's portrait comes to life. John Hooper (c. 1495-1555) served as the Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester during a tumultuous period marked by religious upheaval in England. As a Protestant reformer within the Anglican Church, he played a significant role in shaping its doctrines and practices. However, his unwavering commitment to his beliefs led him to become one of many martyrs during the Marian persecutions under Queen Mary I's reign. Despite facing immense pressure to renounce his Protestant faith, Bishop Hooper remained steadfast until his execution. In this engraving-like image, we see him portrayed with dignity and strength befitting such a courageous individual. His mitre symbolizes his high ecclesiastical rank while also serving as a reminder of his dedication to God's work. This remarkable depiction not only captures Bishop Hooper's physical appearance but also conveys the spirit of resistance against religious oppression that defined this era. It stands as both an homage to an influential figure in English history and as a testament to human resilience when faced
