EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a moment in history, showcasing an English Puritan from around 1650 holding a Bible. The Puritans were known for their strict adherence to traditional Christian beliefs and practices, often seen as stern and conservative in their approach to religion.
The figure in the image is dressed in typical Puritan attire, with simple clothing and a somber expression. In one hand, he holds the Bible, symbolizing the central role of scripture in Puritan life. This visual representation of Protestantism during this time period offers a glimpse into the religious fervor that characterized England during the mid-17th century.
The Puritans were also known as Oliverians, named after Oliver Cromwell who led the Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War. Their influence on English society was significant, shaping cultural norms and political ideologies for generations to come.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and tradition throughout centuries of human civilization. The image serves as a window into a world long past but still resonant with themes of devotion, piety, and reverence for sacred texts.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this piece of history for us to contemplate and reflect upon our own spiritual journey in relation to those who came before us.
