EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a solemn moment in history, depicting "The order and manner of burying in the fields such as died in prison". Illustrated by John Foxe in his renowned work, Acts and Monuments, this ninth edition lithograph from 1684 transports us back to the seventeenth century. In this scene, we witness a heart-wrenching funeral procession taking place amidst vast fields. The mourners, both male and female, are dressed in mourning attire as they bid farewell to their fallen brethren who have perished due to religious persecution. Among them is Will Wiseman, whose name stands out among those who suffered for their Protestant faith. The image evokes a sense of grief and reverence as the body is laid to rest in its final resting place. The burial site serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave individuals during a time marked by intense religious strife. Through this engraving's intricate details and delicate shading techniques, we are transported into an era where expressing one's beliefs could lead to imprisonment or even death. It serves as a testament to the resilience of those who stood firm against adversity and reminds us of the importance of preserving our freedom today. This powerful visual narrative from Bridgeman Images invites contemplation on themes such as martyrdom, religious identity, and human perseverance throughout history.
