Bonnet Joanna Mystic Prophecy Prophetess Ann Ronan Pictures Southcott
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print captures the enigmatic figure of Joanna Southcott, an English mystic and religious fanatic who lived during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Dressed in traditional attire, she wears a bonnet that adds to her air of mystery. Known for her fervent beliefs, Southcott firmly believed herself to be the woman described in Revelations 12 from the Bible. In this engraving, we see a glimpse into Southcott's world as she gazes directly at the viewer with intensity and conviction. Her prophetic nature is evident through her piercing eyes and determined expression. Despite being labeled by some as a religious extremist, there is no denying the strength of character exuded by this remarkable woman. Tragically, Southcott's life was cut short when she succumbed to a brain tumor just months after proclaiming that she would give birth to the second Prince of Peace on October 19th, 1814. This print serves as both a historical record and testament to her unwavering faith. Joanna Southcott's legacy continues to intrigue scholars and believers alike. Through this image captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to witness the presence of one of Britain's most fascinating figures - a prophetess whose influence still resonates today.
