EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the renowned Whistonian Controversy, as depicted by William Mulready in his painting exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1844. The image portrays a heated argument between two men, the Vicar and Mr. Wilmot, representing opposing views on monogamy within the Church of England. In this intriguing debate, Whiston's tenet is brought to light - that it was deemed unlawful for a priest to remarry after the death of his first wife. The dispute becomes even more complex as we learn that Arabella, Mr. Wilmot's daughter, is set to marry the Vicar's son. The engraving beautifully captures the intensity of their discussion; both men are engrossed in their beliefs while displaying distinct characteristics. The rosy-gilled and portly figure of Mr. Wilmot represents an embodiment of traditionalism and adherence to old-school values. This thought-provoking image not only reflects on religious doctrine but also delves into societal norms surrounding marriage during this Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of how debates around faith and tradition can shape our understanding of love and commitment. Preserved through time by "Illustrated London News" this 19th-century illustration continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical context and artistic brilliance – reminding us that even centuries later, discussions on religion and relationships remain ever-relevant topics for contemplation.
