EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact that holds immense significance in the realm of religion and politics. The image depicts a letter from John Knox, written on the 6th of August in 1561, addressed to Sir Nicholas Throgmorton. Crafted by Knox himself, this letter is an embodiment of his gratitude towards Throgmorton for protecting him against the wicked ways of Satan. In this eloquently handwritten correspondence, Knox expresses his deep appreciation to Throgmorton's efforts while also mentioning his intention to write a few words to Queen Elizabeth I and Sir William Cecil, Secretary of State. This exchange reveals the intricate web of connections and alliances during the Elizabethan era. The vibrant colors used in this facsimile bring life to every stroke made by Knox's hand. It transports us back to the sixteenth century when religious reformations were at their peak and England was under Queen Elizabeth Tudor's reign. As we delve into this remarkable piece, we witness not only a testament to faith but also gain insight into diplomatic relations between influential figures such as Sir William Cecil and Sir Nicholas Throgmorton - both prominent players in shaping English history. Preserved with care by The Print Collector3, this photograph allows us access into an important chapter of our past where religion intertwined with politics.
