EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting image captures a dark chapter in history, depicting the persecution faced by Protestants during the Reformation era. The line engraving, taken from a late 18th century English edition of John Foxe's "The Book of Martyrs" showcases the plight of a Protestant woman confined and exposed by the Papists on London Bridge. In this scene, we witness the cruelty and violence inflicted upon individuals who dared to defy Catholic doctrine. The woman is trapped within a cage, symbolizing her captivity and isolation from society due to her religious beliefs. As she stands there, exposed for all to see, it serves as a chilling reminder of the lengths some would go to suppress dissenting voices. John Foxe's "The Book of Martyrs" was first published in 1563 and became an influential account documenting acts of persecution against Protestants throughout history. This particular engraving highlights not only the suffering endured by women but also sheds light on their resilience amidst adversity. Through this historical artifact, we are reminded of the importance of religious freedom and tolerance in our society today. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times when differences divide us, empathy and understanding should prevail over oppression and discrimination.
