EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "COLONIAL SHERIFF, c1680" takes us back to the early days of the New Hampshire colony. The scene depicts a sheriff slowly rising from the ground after being struck on the head with a Bible by a courageous young woman during church services. This wood engraving, created in 1878 by Charles Stanley Reinhart, beautifully captures this dramatic moment in colonial history. In this image, we witness an intense argument unfolding between law enforcement and religious freedom. The sheriff's attempt to make an arrest within the sacred walls of the church has been met with resistance from both men and women dressed in traditional colonial attire. As tensions rise, it is clear that these colonists are not willing to compromise their beliefs or allow their place of worship to be disrupted. The artist skillfully portrays the power dynamics at play through his intricate details and expressive figures. We can almost feel the shockwaves reverberating through this historic event as onlookers watch in awe and disbelief. This piece serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained religion was in daily life during those times and highlights the struggles faced by early settlers seeking autonomy and freedom from oppressive authority. It invites us to reflect upon our own values while appreciating the courage displayed by those who fought for what they believed in centuries ago.
