EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1647, titled "A Discovery of the Most Dangerous and Damnable Tenets that have been spread" offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious landscape of 17th century London. The image showcases a diverse group of tradesmen turned preachers, each representing a different profession within the city. In this thought-provoking scene, we see individuals such as confectioners, blacksmiths, cobblers, tailors, porters, and many more engaged in their daily work while simultaneously spreading religious ideas. This juxtaposition highlights the pervasive influence of religion in every aspect of society during this tumultuous period. The print serves as both a warning and an insight into the theological debates and conflicts that characterized England's civil war era. It sheds light on heretical beliefs and apocryphal doctrines that were being disseminated among these working-class individuals. By depicting these tradesmen-turned-preachers alongside their respective tools or products, the artist emphasizes how deeply ingrained religion was in their lives. The broadsheet format suggests that this image may have been part of a pamphlet or publication aimed at educating people about these dangerous tenets. Overall, this remarkable woodcut provides us with a unique window into history by showcasing not only the diversity of workers during this time but also revealing how religious ideas permeated all aspects of life for ordinary people living through turbulent times.
