EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the procession that took place in Oxford, England, in 1556. The image showcases Queen Mary's representatives gathering to interrogate three prominent Protestant bishops: Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley, and Hugh Latimer. This solemn event occurred in April 1555 as part of the religious persecution during Queen Mary's reign. The copper engraving featured here is from a late 18th-century edition of John Foxe's renowned work, "The Book of Martyrs" originally published in 1563. It serves as a powerful visual representation of the tumultuous times faced by those who dared to challenge Catholicism during this period. In this scene, we witness the gravity and intensity surrounding these interrogations. The bishops' fate hangs precariously on their responses as they face accusations of heresy. Their unwavering commitment to their beliefs would ultimately lead them down a path towards martyrdom. Through this historical artifact preserved within Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are transported back to an era where religious tensions ran high and individuals were willing to sacrifice everything for their faith. It serves as a reminder of the courage exhibited by these men who stood firm against adversity and left an indelible mark on English history.
