EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration titled "They would take him to the Armoury before he left them" transports us into the enchanting world of John Bunyan's timeless tale, The Pilgrim's Progress. Created by the talented artist John Byam Liston Shaw in 1907, this vibrant colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment in the story. In this scene, we witness a group of characters gathered around a young knight named Christian. Dressed in their finest armor and armed with swords, they stand within the grandeur of Palace Beautiful. As Christian prepares to embark on his perilous journey, his sisters and fellow warriors accompany him to the Armoury for final preparations. The image exudes an air of anticipation and determination as each character plays their part in equipping Christian for what lies ahead. The women are dressed elegantly yet possess an undeniable strength that mirrors their male counterparts. Their presence symbolizes unity and support amidst adversity. Shaw masterfully brings these beloved literary figures to life through intricate details and vivid colors. From the gleaming armor to every fold in their garments, no element is overlooked. This evocative print serves as a testament to both Bunyan's enduring narrative and Shaw's artistic prowess. It invites viewers of all ages to immerse themselves in this fantastical realm where courage meets faith on an extraordinary pilgrimage towards self-discovery and salvation.
