EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dignified presence of William Waynfleet, Bishop of Winchester, in 1786. The creator of this portrait remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the image. William Waynflete was a prominent figure in English history, serving as Provost of Eton from 1442 to 1447, Bishop of Winchester from 1447 until his death in 1486, and even holding the esteemed position of Lord Chancellor of England from 1456 to 1460. Renowned for his contributions to education, Waynflete is best remembered as the founder of Magdalen College at Oxford University. This engraving comes from "The History of England" by Paul de Rapin-Thoyras and was published by Harrison in London during the eighteenth century. The portrait showcases Waynfleet's ornate bishop's attire with a jewelled brooch adorning his robe. His mitre sits atop his head while he holds a book symbolizing knowledge and religious devotion. The oval-shaped frame adds elegance to this historic depiction. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into British history and Christianity during the fifteenth century. It serves as a reminder not only of Waynfleet's significant contributions but also highlights the importance placed on education and religion during that era.
