EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in John Bunyan's renowned literary work, "The Pilgrim's Progress From This World, To That Which Is To Come". The image depicts the pilgrim standing before the entrance to the Kings Highway, a symbolic representation of his journey towards eternal life. Painted by an unknown artist in the 17th century, this woodcut illustration beautifully brings to life Bunyan's Christian allegory. Intriguingly, the image showcases the pilgrim at a crucial juncture - he stands outside the gate and must first knock before entering. This powerful visual metaphor emphasizes that one must seek entry into salvation actively; it is not granted passively or without effort. The presence of a lion nearby further symbolizes both danger and protection on this spiritual path. Bunyan's novel follows an everyman character burdened with sins as he traverses various trials and tribulations on his quest for redemption. Through vivid storytelling and moral lessons embedded within each chapter, "The Pilgrim's Progress" has become an enduring classic of English literature. This historic engraving serves as a reminder of our own personal journeys towards self-discovery and spiritual growth. It invites us to reflect upon our own burdens and challenges while inspiring us to persevere in our pursuit of truth, righteousness, and ultimately eternal life.
