EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful wood engraving from an 1832 American edition of John Foxe's Book of Martyrs depicts the martyrdom of Thomas Badby, a Lollard, at Smithfield, England in 1409. The image captures the intense persecution and discrimination faced by those who dared to challenge the established English religious order during this time. In the foreground, we see Thomas Badby bound to a stake as flames engulf him. His face reflects both agony and defiance, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to his beliefs despite facing certain death. Surrounding him are onlookers - some horrified by the gruesome scene unfolding before them while others revel in his suffering. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched into the wood conveys a sense of urgency and emotion. The cauldron bubbling with fire beneath Badby adds an element of dread and impending doom. This print serves as a stark reminder of the brutal consequences individuals like Thomas Badby endured for their faith during this tumultuous period in history. It also highlights John Foxe's influential work in documenting these stories through his Book of Martyrs. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember those who sacrificed their lives for their beliefs and recognize that discrimination based on religion or ideology continues to be a pressing issue today.
