EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Master Latimer preaching before King Edward the Sixth at Westminster. The illustration is taken from John Foxe's renowned work, Acts and Monuments, which chronicles the lives of Protestant martyrs. In this scene, we witness the powerful presence of Hugh Latimer, an English Protestant martyr who fearlessly advocated for religious reform during the tumultuous era of the English Reformation. Standing tall in the pulpit, his words resonate with conviction as he addresses a diverse congregation that includes priests, monks, and other members of religious orders. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as spectators gather to hear this influential preacher deliver his sermon. Among them is young King Edward VI himself, whose reign marked a pivotal period for England and Ireland. This image transports us back to the 16th century when religious tensions ran high and individuals like Latimer risked their lives to defend their beliefs. It serves as a testament to both Latimer's unwavering dedication to his cause and Foxe's commitment to preserving these stories through his book of martyrs. As we gaze upon this engraving from centuries past, we are reminded of the profound impact that religion has had on society throughout history. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and appreciate those who have fought valiantly for what they hold dear.
