EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled ""While he kept praying. . . I held a-counting of his grey hairs, " we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment. The image captures Sir Thomas More, an influential figure during the reign of Henry VIII, deep in prayer while kneeling in what appears to be a dimly lit dungeon. His pious devotion is palpable as he seeks solace amidst the hardships that surround him. As our gaze shifts towards the foreground, we notice Anne Manning, an observer within More's household. With tender care and unwavering attention, she meticulously counts each strand of his distinguished grey hair. Her presence adds a touch of intimacy to this otherwise somber scene. The engraving technique used by Charles Edmund Brock enhances the dramatic atmosphere surrounding these historical figures. Every line etched into the print seems to echo their struggles and resilience. This artwork is taken from "The Household of Sir Thomas More" published by J M Dent in 1906. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of those who were part of More's inner circle during one of England's most tumultuous periods. Through this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded not only of Sir Thomas More's unwavering faith but also how even small gestures can hold profound meaning amidst adversity.
