EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The burning of the sorceress outside Ely AD1071,1920s" takes us back in time to a significant event in British history. The lithograph, created by Allan Stewart in the early 20th century, depicts a scene from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation. In this dramatic illustration, we witness an intense moment as a sorceress is being burned at the stake outside Ely Cathedral in the year 1071. The artist skillfully captures the tension and fear that must have filled the air during such medieval witch trials. The image transports us to an era when superstition and religious fervor often led to tragic outcomes for those accused of practicing magic or witchcraft. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained these beliefs were within society and how they shaped historical events. Stewart's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, with intricate engravings showcasing both architectural elements like Ely Cathedral and human figures caught up in this harrowing spectacle. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect on our own understanding of justice and morality throughout different periods in history. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking lithograph, we are reminded not only of our past but also encouraged to question our present-day beliefs and actions. This powerful image serves as a testament to both the enduring power of art and its ability to provoke contemplation about humanity's complex past.
