EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the hauntingly beautiful Lollards Prison engraving, a powerful depiction of religious persecution and imprisonment. The image transports us back in time to an era when dissenters were locked away for their beliefs, their voices silenced within these cold stone walls. The interior of the prison cell is dimly lit, with only a flickering fireplace casting eerie shadows on the worn locks and heavy door. It is a stark reminder of the harsh punishment inflicted upon those who dared to challenge established religious norms. The engraving captures both the physical confinement and emotional turmoil experienced by Lollards - followers of John Wycliffe's teachings - as they faced isolation from society. St Paul's Cathedral looms in the background, serving as a poignant symbol of authority and orthodoxy that sought to suppress any form of dissent. This image serves as a testament to the resilience and strength displayed by individuals who refused to conform, even in the face of severe consequences. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical artwork through their fine art collection, allowing us to reflect upon our past struggles for freedom of belief. As we gaze at this evocative print, we are reminded not only of our collective history but also inspired to continue fighting against injustice wherever it may be found today.
