EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Quaker and King at Whitehall" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Engraved by the talented Frank French, this illustration captures a powerful scene from Howard Pyle's book, "The Early Quakers in England and Pennsylvania". Published in Harpers Magazine in 1882, this lithograph showcases the clash of two worlds. In the image, we witness an intense encounter between a Quaker and the Duke of York, who would later become James II. The Quaker stands firm with his hat on, refusing to remove it as a sign of respect for royalty. This act challenges societal norms and highlights the unwavering principles that define the Quaker faith. Howard Pyle's attention to detail brings this historical event to life. Every line etched by French tells a story - one of courage, conviction, and religious freedom. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection, we are reminded of William Penn (1644-1718), founder of Pennsylvania and renowned figure within both courtiers' circles and the Brandywine School. Let this remarkable artwork serve as a reminder that sometimes it takes individuals like these early Quakers to challenge authority for progress to be made. Their bravery echoes through time as an inspiration for all those who dare to stand up against injustice or uphold their beliefs despite opposition.
