EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary encounter between St Dunstan and the devil in 1826. Born in Glastonbury, Somerset, St Dunstan rose to become Archbishop of Canterbury in 961. Revered as the patron saint of goldsmiths, this image depicts a pivotal moment in his life. According to folklore, while diligently crafting a golden chalice, St Dunstan was interrupted by none other than the devil himself. In an act of defiance against temptation, he fearlessly seized the devil's nose with red hot pincers. The intense anger on St Dunstan's face reflects his determination not to release his grip until the devil promised never to tempt him again. The woodcut style adds a touch of antiquity to this scene from William Hone's Every-Day Book published in London during that era. It transports us back to 19th century England when good versus evil narratives held great significance. In this monochrome portrayal, we witness a clash between two powerful forces - righteousness embodied by St Dunstan and malevolence personified by the devil. This image serves as a reminder of our eternal struggle against temptation and showcases St Dunstan's unwavering commitment to his faith. As we delve into history through this print collector's work, we are reminded of how legends like these shape our understanding of religion and spirituality.
