EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a historic meeting between two influential figures of the 17th century - Oliver Cromwell and George Fox. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases their encounter with remarkable detail and precision. Cromwell, known for his military prowess and role as Lord Protector of England during the Commonwealth period, stands tall and commanding. His presence exudes power and determination as he engages in conversation with Fox, a prominent Quaker leader who founded the Society of Friends. The illustration transports us back to a time when religion played a significant role in shaping society. It offers a glimpse into this pivotal moment where two contrasting ideologies collide: Cromwell's staunch Protestantism juxtaposed against Fox's pacifist beliefs. The animals depicted alongside them - foxes - add an intriguing layer to the composition. Symbolic of cunningness and adaptability, they serve as metaphors for both men's characters or perhaps represent their respective factions within society. This print is part of William Howitt's book "Visits to Remarkable Places" published in 1888. Samuel Williams' skillful illustrations bring historical events to life on each page. Bridgeman Images presents this extraordinary piece from their private collection, allowing viewers to delve into history through artistry.
