EDITORS COMMENTS
Infants the Type of Innocency," an exquisite 17th-century print from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of innocence as depicted in the Bible, specifically in the New Testament book of Matthew (Chapter 18, Verses 2-6). This profound image invites us to reflect on the pure and uncorrupted nature of childhood, drawing a striking parallel between the infants and the teachings of Jesus and his disciples. The print, believed to be from circa 1688, portrays a group of cherubic infants, their chubby cheeks and innocent expressions symbolizing the unblemished purity and simplicity of their young souls. The infants are arranged in a circle, their tiny hands reaching out towards one another, illustrating the unity and interconnectedness of all human beings, as Jesus teaches his disciples in the passage. The biblical text states, "And he called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, and said, 'Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.' And he took them up in his arms, put him in the midst of them, and said, 'Whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.''' This evocative print serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of embracing the virtues of innocence, humility, and unity, as embodied by these infants, and applying them to our own lives. It is a timeless piece that transcends the boundaries of history and culture, inspiring awe and reflection in all who behold it.
