EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "For Faith and Freedom" transports us back to the late 19th century. Created by Amedee Forestier after Walter Besant's literary work, this illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 22nd, 1888. The scene depicted is both humorous and thought-provoking. In the foreground stands a poor man, his face contorted with pain as he bellows for assistance. His head is held firmly between two imposing grinders - not of the dental kind but rather pistols! This unexpected twist adds an element of surprise and wit to the artwork. Beside him, we see another figure holding pincers resembling guns, dragging a stout barnaby towards them. It seems that these characters represent opposing forces: one symbolizing faith while the other represents freedom. The struggle between these concepts becomes apparent through their physical confrontation. Forestier's skillful execution captures every intricate detail of this dramatic moment in history. From the expressions on each character's face to the meticulous rendering of their clothing, no aspect has been overlooked. "For Faith and Freedom" serves as a reminder that even in times of hardship or oppression, individuals will fight tooth and nail for what they believe in. This powerful image resonates with viewers today just as it did over a century ago when it first graced the pages of The Illustrated London News.
