EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Puritans before James I in the 17th century. In this scene, we witness King James I, accompanied by his son and successor Charles I, engaging with a group of Puritans. The Puritans were devout Protestants who sought to reform the Church of England from within. However, their beliefs clashed with those of the established church, leading to religious persecution. James and Charles sided with the established church against the Puritans, which prompted many members of this religious group to seek refuge in the colonies of North America. This migration played a pivotal role in shaping early American society. The image portrays an intriguing juxtaposition between power and dissent as these men engage in conversation within a law court setting. It is evident that religion was at the forefront of political discussions during this time period. Printed as part of Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier around 1880, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an important era marked by religious turmoil and ideological conflict. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical snapshot while emphasizing its timeless significance. As we observe these figures listening intently to one another's arguments, it becomes clear that their interactions would have far-reaching consequences for both Britain and its colonies across the Atlantic Ocean.
