EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history as Archbishop Manning administers the Pledge on Clerkenwell Green. The image, created by William Bromley III, transports us back to 19th-century London, where large crowds have gathered to witness this impactful event. Archbishop Henry Edward Manning stands tall and dignified at the center of the composition, his presence commanding attention. With outstretched arms and a solemn expression, he administers the pledge with great conviction and authority. His role as a spiritual leader is evident in every detail of his posture and demeanor. The surrounding crowd reflects the diversity of Victorian society, with men, women, and children eagerly participating in this historic moment. Their faces display a mix of anticipation and reverence for both the occasion itself and their esteemed archbishop. Clerkenwell Green serves as an ideal backdrop for this scene—a symbol of unity within bustling London. Its open space provides ample room for such gatherings while allowing architectural elements like buildings and lampposts to frame the spectacle. Published in The Graphic on October 19th, 1872, this engraving immortalizes an important chapter in religious history. It reminds us not only of Archbishop Manning's influential leadership but also highlights how faith can bring communities together amidst times of social change. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection so that we may continue to appreciate its historical significance today.
