EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hooper parting from Mr Bullinger" captures a poignant moment in history with its intricate details and emotional depth. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print is now held in a private collection. The scene depicted here is based on a significant event from John Foxe's renowned work, The Book of Martyrs. It showcases the farewell between John Hooper, the Bishop of Worcester and Gloucester, and his dear friend Mr Bullinger. This powerful image serves as a testament to their unwavering faith during times of religious persecution. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to an era marked by intense religious turmoil. The Protestant movement faced immense challenges as they fought for their beliefs amidst opposition from other factions within Christianity. Intriguingly detailed, every line etched into this engraving conveys the solemnity of the occasion. We can almost feel the weight of emotion hanging heavy in the air as these two martyrs bid each other farewell before Hooper's impending martyrdom. This print not only commemorates an important historical event but also serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience exhibited by individuals who stood firm in their Christian values even at great personal cost. It invites us to reflect on our own convictions and what we would be willing to sacrifice for our faith.
