EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Richard Brothers (1757-1824), an Englishman who gained notoriety in the late 18th century for his fervent beliefs in British-Israelite views, declaring himself to be the Nephew of God. Born in 1757, Brothers' unusual claims first came to public attention in 1794. Despite the skepticism and ridicule of many, Brothers was committed to an asylum in 1795 due to his unwavering convictions. However, he was discharged in 1806, having been deemed harmless by the authorities. Brothers' beliefs were rooted in the idea that the ancient Israelites were the true ancestors of the English people, a notion that gained popularity among some sectors of British society during this period. His declaration of divinity was a reflection of his deep-rooted belief in this connection. Despite his controversial claims, Brothers continued to attract a following, and his teachings influenced various religious and political movements throughout the 19th century. This photograph, taken possibly in the early 1800s, captures a fascinating moment in the history of religious thought and the complexities of mental health care during this period. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring human capacity for belief and the intricacies of the human psyche.
