EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in French history - the Proclamation of the revocation of the edict of Nantes on October 22,1685. The image is taken from "Histoire de France since the most remote times until 1789" by M. Guizot, published in 1887. The engraving depicts a scene filled with tension and emotion as Christian Protestants gather to protest against this proclamation. The edict, originally issued by King Henry IV in 1598, had granted religious freedom to French Protestants known as Huguenots. However, Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King (1638-1715), decided to revoke this edict and impose strict measures against Protestantism. In this artwork by Leonard de Selva, we see an intricate portrayal of individuals expressing their disagreement with this decision. Their faces reflect anguish and determination as they stand united for their faith amidst political turmoil. The image provides us with a glimpse into both religious and political aspects of France during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how religion played a crucial role in shaping societies and governments throughout history. As we observe this historical photograph, we are reminded of the struggles faced by those who fought for religious freedom and tolerance during an era marked by conflict between different faiths.
