EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases the Church of England's clergy in the early 17th century. The image depicts two distinct houses of convocation within the church hierarchy: the upper house for bishops and the lower house for other clergy members. In this engraving, we see a group of men seated in their respective positions, each wearing traditional robes that symbolize their roles within the church. The bishops, belonging to the upper house, are seated on cushioned chairs with an air of authority and wisdom surrounding them. Their presence signifies their elevated status as spiritual leaders. Meanwhile, members of the lower house can be seen sitting alongside one another in humble wooden seats. These clergymen represent a diverse range of roles and responsibilities within the Church of England. The intricate details captured by this English engraving transport us back to a time when religious institutions played a significant role in society. It serves as a reminder of how faith has shaped history and continues to influence our lives today.
