The Tables turned, the Bishops Christmas Greeting
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that transports us back to the enchanting era of 1897. Created by Thomas Walter Wilson, this artwork was originally published in The Illustrated London News on Christmas Day. In this delightful scene, we find ourselves amidst a picturesque countryside road on a snowy winter's day. A horse-drawn carriage carrying a group of bishops has come to an unexpected halt as they encounter a group of mischievous highwaymen. With their faces hidden behind masks and armed with pistols, these daring outlaws have decided to turn the tables on the unsuspecting bishops. The tension between both parties is palpable as we witness the dramatic moment frozen in time. The horses nervously prance about while their riders exchange wary glances with the audacious bandits. It seems that even during such festive times as Christmas, danger can lurk around any corner. Wilson's masterful use of detail brings every element of this composition to life – from the intricate engravings adorning each bishop's robe to the subtle expressions etched upon their faces. This print serves as not only an artistic masterpiece but also a reminder that sometimes it is through unexpected encounters that our true spirit shines brightest. As we gaze upon "The Tables turned, the Bishops Christmas Greeting" let us be reminded of the resilience and courage within us all when faced with unforeseen challenges during this joyous season.
