EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1619, we are transported back to a time when witchcraft and the occult were met with fear and condemnation. The image features three remarkable women from Leicestershire, Anne Baker, Joanne Willimott, and Ellen Greene, along with their beloved pets and familiars. These courageous women were associates of the infamous Witches of Belvoir, a group that challenged societal norms and embraced their mystical abilities. However, their defiance came at a great cost. They were ultimately condemned to be burnt at the stake for practicing witchcraft in England. The engraving beautifully captures the bond between these women and their loyal animal companions. As they stand together against an unforgiving backdrop of judgment and persecution, it is evident that their pets serve as both sources of comfort and symbols of resistance. This haunting image serves as a reminder of the dark chapters in history when innocent lives were lost due to superstition and ignorance. It also highlights the strength and resilience displayed by individuals who dared to challenge societal norms in pursuit of personal freedom. As we gaze upon this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us reflect on how far society has come since those tumultuous times while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in promoting acceptance, understanding, and compassion for all.
