EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Protestant Grind-Stone: William III and Queen Mary press the Popes nose" takes us back to London in 1690, during a time of great political and religious tension. The image depicts an anti-Catholic cartoon that vividly captures the spirit of the Glorious Revolution. In the center of the frame, we see King William III and Queen Mary firmly pressing the Pope's nose against a grindstone. This symbolic act represents their determination to challenge Catholic authority and assert Protestant dominance. Standing on either side are Anglican Bishops Sancroft and Compton, diligently turning the grindstone with unwavering commitment to their cause. Onlookers include Marshal Schomberg, Lord Halifax, and Bishop Burnet who observe this scene with intense interest. Their presence signifies both support for Protestantism as well as curiosity about its implications for England's future. This powerful visual narrative encapsulates a pivotal moment in history when religious tensions were at their peak. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained these conflicts were within society during this period. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the fervor surrounding religious upheaval in 17th century London. It is through images like these that we gain insight into not only our past but also our present-day struggles for tolerance and understanding.
