EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and majestic Coat of Arms of the Bishops of Bath & Wells, Bristol, Carlisle, Chester, Chichester, and more. Created by Andrew Johnston in the 18th century through copperplate engraving, this piece is a true testament to the artistry and heraldic traditions of that era. The shield at the center proudly displays various symbols representing each bishopric. A regal helmet rests above it, adorned with a magnificent crown symbolizing their noble status. The motto inscribed below serves as a guiding principle for these esteemed figures within society. Surrounding the shield are ornate devices including an escutcheon and a heraldic achievement. These elements further emphasize their distinguished lineage and position within aristocratic circles. A prominent figure depicted on this coat of arms is none other than the bishop himself wearing his mitre—a ceremonial headdress—and holding keys symbolizing his spiritual authority. Every detail in this artwork exudes elegance and sophistication while paying homage to centuries-old traditions. It serves as a visual representation of power, nobility, and heritage associated with these revered bishops. Whether you appreciate heraldry or simply admire historical artifacts from centuries past, this print offers a glimpse into an era where symbolism played an integral role in defining one's identity within society.
