EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Bishop Ken and a Beggar, 1912" transports us to the serene English countryside of the early 17th century. The print depicts Bishop Thomas Ken (1637-1711), an influential figure in English religious history, engaging with a humble beggar. The image showcases two contrasting figures against a picturesque outdoor backdrop. Bishop Ken, dressed in his distinguished clerical attire and wearing an eye patch, stands tall with his book in hand. His compassionate gaze is fixed upon the kneeling beggar before him. The beggar's tattered clothes and weathered appearance reflect the harsh reality of poverty during that time. Through this artwork, we witness a powerful representation of Christian charity and compassion transcending social boundaries. It captures a moment frozen in time where wealth meets destitution, yet both individuals are united by their shared humanity. The collaboration between artist Stephen Reid and writer W. M. Letts brings this poignant scene to life through intricate details and masterful strokes. This lithograph serves as a visual reminder of Bishop Ken's significant contributions to modern English hymnody while shedding light on the plight of those less fortunate. As we contemplate this evocative print from 1912, it prompts us to reflect on our own acts of kindness towards others regardless of their circumstances or station in life—a timeless message that resonates even today.
