EDITORS COMMENTS
John the Quaker, a Thoughtful Contemplation of 17th Century London". This print captures the enigmatic figure of John Kelsey, known as John the Quaker, amidst the bustling streets of 17th century London. Dressed in his distinctive cloak and wide-brimmed hat, he stands with arms folded, exuding an air of contemplation and deep thought. The etching from Cries of London (c1688?) showcases not only the fashion and style prevalent during that era but also provides a glimpse into religious life in England at the time. John's attire reflects his adherence to Quaker beliefs - simplicity, modesty, and non-conformity to societal norms. As we delve into this monochrome image captured by Marcellus Laroon I or Old Laroon (an anonymous artist), we are transported back to a period when religion played a significant role in shaping society. The Guildhall Library and Art Gallery has preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate today. John's presence on these busy streets prompts us to contemplate his thoughts - perhaps pondering spiritual matters or reflecting on how he can contribute positively to his community. His expression invites us to join him in introspection as we explore our own beliefs and values. This print serves as both an artistic representation of street life in 17th century London and a testament to the enduring power of faith throughout history. Let it inspire you towards your own moments of thoughtful reflection.
