EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of George Wishart, a prominent 16th-century Scottish reformer and martyr. Taken in the mid-19th century, this image showcases Wishart's profound commitment to his beliefs and unwavering generosity towards those less fortunate. In this scene, as he makes his way to trial before Archbishop Beaton, Wishart selflessly hands over his purse to a beggar. This act of charity exemplifies not only his financial support but also symbolizes his dedication to helping others amidst religious persecution. Wishart's story is one of courage and sacrifice. Found guilty of heresy for challenging established religious norms, he faced an agonizing fate - being burned at the stake in St Andrews in March 1546. His steadfastness in the face of adversity became an inspiration for many during the Protestant Reformation. The chromolithograph technique used here adds vibrancy and depth to this historical depiction. The colors bring life to Wishart's attire while emphasizing both poverty and wealth disparity prevalent during that era. Through this remarkable photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Scotland's religious history. It serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith, compassion, and resilience against prejudice.
