EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures a significant historical moment in religious and cultural history. The image depicts an illustration from Cassells Illustrated History of England, showcasing the concept of "Keeping Sunday" according to the King James Book of Sports. This book was a declaration made by James I of England in 1617, which outlined the sports that were permitted on Sundays and other holy days. The engraving portrays the divisions within Christianity during the 17th century, particularly between Puritans and Roman Catholics. It symbolizes the struggle for religious uniformity and highlights how different factions interpreted and practiced their faith. The image offers a glimpse into this turbulent period marked by intense debates over religious practices. It serves as a reminder of how religion played a central role in shaping society during that time. As we observe this artwork, we are transported back to an era where tensions ran high between Protestants and Catholics. The intricate details captured by English School artists evoke curiosity about these historical events while also reminding us of the importance placed on maintaining religious order. This photograph from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection is not only visually stunning but also provides valuable insights into our past, shedding light on centuries-old conflicts that continue to shape our understanding of religion today.
