EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the intensity of the Puritan demonstrations against the monarchy that took place in London during May 1643. The scene depicts a large crowd of Puritans, led by a figure holding a Bible and a hat adorned with a cross, gathered around the cross at Cheapside. With determination in their eyes and fervor in their actions, they pull down the cross, symbolizing their rejection of the established Church of England and its ties to Catholicism. The aftermath of the cross's removal is shown in the background, where Catholic texts are seen being burned where the cross once stood. This act was a clear statement of the Puritans' intention to purge the city of all things associated with the monarchy and the Catholic faith. The satirical element of this print lies in the caricatured depiction of the figures in the crowd. Some are shown with exaggerated features, such as long noses and pointed hats, while others are portrayed as hunchbacked or wearing absurdly large shoes. These exaggerations were likely intended to mock the Puritans and their perceived fanaticism, but they also serve to highlight the passion and conviction with which they carried out their actions. This print offers a unique glimpse into the religious and political tensions that were simmering in Britain during the 17th century. The Puritan demonstrations against the monarchy were a significant turning point in the English Civil War, and this image provides a visual representation of the intensity and complexity of the events that unfolded during this period.
