The Miracle of Miracles, illustration from Chap-books of the Eighteenth Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the 18th century. Created by John Ashton and published in 1882, this lithograph depicts a scene filled with intrigue and moral conundrums. In Darkins Parish, Essex, around 1715, Sarah Smith, daughter of John Symons, gave birth to a strange monster. This extraordinary event is vividly captured in this woodcut engraving. The image showcases the clash between good and evil as a priest confronts a devilish creature while surrounded by onlookers. The illustration serves as a reminder of the power of morality and religious beliefs during that time period. It highlights the influence of chapbooks - small booklets containing popular stories or moral tales - which were widely read by people seeking guidance on how to lead virtuous lives. The presence of clergy members further emphasizes the importance placed on religion in society. The engraving raises questions about sin, possession, and redemption as it portrays an intense struggle between righteousness and temptation. This print from "Chap-books of the Eighteenth Century" offers us not only an insight into historical events but also invites contemplation on timeless themes such as faith, human nature, and our eternal battle against inner demons.
