EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical drawing, titled "Austin Friar (MONACHUS AUGUSTINUS)," offers a glimpse into the historical tensions surrounding religion in England during the 19th century. Created in 1852, this piece captures the fear of a potential papal invasion that loomed over the country at that time.
The figure depicted is a male Austin Friar, part of the religious order known as Monachus Augustinus. The exaggerated features and comical portrayal suggest a mocking tone towards this particular religious group. Through clever satire, the artist conveys a commentary on the power dynamics and anxieties surrounding different religious orders in England during this period.
As we examine this drawing, we are transported back to a time when religion played a significant role in shaping societal norms and political landscapes. The intricate details and expressive style of the artwork invite us to ponder on how beliefs and fears can influence cultural perceptions.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this historical gem for us to contemplate and reflect upon. It serves as a reminder of our past struggles with religious differences and serves as an intriguing window into England's complex history with faith traditions.
