EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Puritan Family, 1563" we are transported back to the 16th century, immersing ourselves in the sacred world of a devout Puritan family. The image showcases a father taking on the role of teacher as he instructs his family in singing Psalms rather than indulging in vain and trifling ballads. His hands are positioned strategically, possibly utilizing mnemonic devices like the Guidonian hand to guide their voices towards the correct notes. The woodcut captures not only the essence of religious devotion but also provides us with glimpses into Tudor-era fashion and family dynamics. Clad in traditional attire, each member exudes an air of piety and reverence. The mother stands beside her husband, embodying both strength and nurturing qualities that define motherhood during this era. This powerful depiction sheds light on the importance placed upon education within Puritan households. It symbolizes a commitment to passing down religious teachings from one generation to another, ensuring spiritual growth and adherence to Protestant values. As we examine this monochrome print closely, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it encapsulates an entire belief system rooted deeply within Christianity. Through its simplicity yet profound message, this artwork serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Puritanism while offering us insight into familial bonds forged through faith.
