EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Stubbs has his hand cut off, 1521" captures a chilling moment in history. Illustrated by Frank Gillett in 1923, this lithograph is part of Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation collection. The image depicts John Stubbs, an English pamphleteer from the sixteenth century who faced a gruesome punishment for his daring act. In 1578, Stubbs wrote a pamphlet entitled The Discoverie of a Gaping Gulf whereinto England is like to be Swallowed by another French Marriage. This audacious piece criticized Queen Elizabeth I's potential marriage to a French prince and raised concerns about national security. As a result, Stubbs was condemned to lose his right hand as punishment for seditious libel. The engraving showcases the dramatic scene with vivid detail. A crowd gathers around Stubbs as he faces his fate with courage and defiance. Fear and apprehension can be seen on the faces of spectators witnessing this brutal act of justice. This powerful image transports us back to Elizabethan England, immersing us in the political tensions and social anxieties that prevailed during that era. It serves as a reminder of the consequences individuals faced when challenging authority or expressing dissenting opinions. As we gaze upon this historic photograph print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of our own freedom of speech and the importance of cherishing it in today's world.
