EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the haunting era of the Plague of London in 1665. The image depicts Solomon Eagle, a notable figure during that time, standing on the parapet of St. Paul's Cathedral, denouncing the City of London. Illustrated by John Franklin for William Harrison Ainsworth's novel "Old Saint Paul's" this engraving from 1855 (first published in 1841) captures the essence of this dark period in English history. Solomon Eagle, portrayed with great intensity and conviction, raises his arms towards the sky as if beseeching divine intervention amidst the chaos caused by the plague. His powerful stance atop St. Paul's symbolizes both his defiance against societal corruption and his plea for redemption. The intricate details captured by Franklin's skilled hand draw our attention to every architectural element of St. Paul's Cathedral - its majestic dome towering above London’s skyline serves as a poignant backdrop to this dramatic scene. Through this evocative artwork, we are reminded not only of the devastating impact that disease can have on society but also how individuals like Solomon Eagle sought to confront their fears head-on through acts of protest and spiritual fervor. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we cannot help but be transported into a world where art intertwines with literature to bring forth tales that resonate across centuries – reminding us never to forget our past while inspiring hope for a brighter future.
