EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Caught Reading a Proscribed Book" artist John-Bagnold Burgess transports us to a time when the mere act of indulging in forbidden literature was an act of rebellion. The scene unfolds within the intimate confines of a dimly lit room, where two figures find themselves engrossed in the pages of a proscribed book. The tension is palpable as we witness their clandestine pursuit of knowledge, defying societal norms and risking severe consequences. A woman sits at a table, her delicate features illuminated by the soft glow emanating from the book she holds. Her expression is one of both trepidation and determination, embodying the spirit of those who dared to challenge authority. Beside her stands a man, his face partially obscured by shadows cast upon him. His presence suggests solidarity with her cause, perhaps even serving as her protector should they be discovered. Together, they form an unlikely alliance against ignorance and suppression. Burgess skillfully captures not only their vulnerability but also their unwavering commitment to intellectual freedom. Through his intricate detailing and masterful use of light and shadow, he invites us into this secret world where books become symbols of resistance. "Caught Reading a Proscribed Book" serves as a powerful reminder that knowledge has always been coveted and controlled throughout history. It urges us to appreciate our own privilege in freely accessing information while acknowledging those who fought for it before us
