EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the infamous Matthew Hopkins, self-appointed Witchfinder-General in East Anglia during the 17th century. Responsible for countless false accusations of witchcraft, Hopkins played a dark role in history as he ruthlessly pursued those he believed to be practicing the paranormal arts.
In 1647, at the height of the witch trials in England, Hopkins used his appointed position to instill fear and paranoia throughout East Anglia. His methods were cruel and unjust, leading to the wrongful persecution of many innocent individuals who were accused of witchcraft.
The image depicts Hopkins with a stern expression on his face, embodying the power and authority he wielded over those he deemed guilty. The historical significance of this figure cannot be understated, as his actions had lasting repercussions on society's perception of witchcraft and superstition.
As we reflect on this dark chapter in history, it serves as a reminder of how easily fear and ignorance can lead to injustice. The legacy of Matthew Hopkins lives on through stories like these, reminding us to always question authority and seek truth above all else.
