EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Martin Droeshout showcases John Howson, the esteemed Bishop of Durham during the 17th century. The print, part of a private collection, exudes an air of historical significance and reverence. It is featured in Woodburns Gallery of Rare Portraits, a renowned publication from London in 1816. John Howson (c1557-1632) emerges as a figure of great importance and influence within the Church. His dignified presence is beautifully captured by Droeshout's skilled hand, highlighting his role as a prominent religious leader during this era. The attire worn by Bishop Howson reflects both his status and the fashion trends prevalent at that time. He dons an elegant cap or hat atop his head, adding to his distinguished appearance. The intricate details on his clothing emphasize the care taken to depict him accurately. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to early 17th-century England—a period marked by profound religious devotion and societal change. John Howson's portrayal serves as a testament to Christianity's enduring impact on British culture and society.
