EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment, depicting the engraving titled "De Montfort Attacking the Jews and Other Aliens in London". Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork sheds light on Simon de Montfort, the 6th Earl of Leicester. Known for his anti-Semitic beliefs and actions, de Montfort's revolt against the barons led to a particular focus of hatred towards Jews. The illustration was originally featured in "Worthies of the World" by H. W. Dulcken around 1880. This digitally cleaned image showcases the intensity and brutality of de Montfort's attack on not only Jews but also other foreigners residing in London during that time. The thirteenth-century setting transports us back to medieval England when tensions were high between different religious groups and cultures. The presence of French influences is evident as de Montfort himself was French-born. As we examine this piece closely, it serves as a reminder of how prejudice can manifest throughout history. It highlights both the dark side of humanity and our collective responsibility to learn from past mistakes. Through its powerful imagery and historical significance, this print invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as xenophobia, religious intolerance, and their impact on society then and now.
