EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive brass effigy of Archbishop Thomas Cranley, created by an unknown English artist in the 15th century. The image captures every intricate detail of this remarkable piece, courtesy of the Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford. Archbishop Thomas Cranley (c. 1337-1417) was not only a prominent statesman but also a highly respected cleric who held esteemed positions such as Chancellor of Oxford, Archbishop of Dublin, and Lord Chancellor of Ireland. His influence extended beyond his ecclesiastical roles as he served as the warden of New College Oxford from 1389 to 1396. The photograph highlights Cranley's archiepiscopal vestments with their exquisite embroidery and delicate incised patterns on stone. Dressed in his majestic robes and adorned with a mitre atop his head, he holds a staff symbolizing his spiritual authority. The inscription accompanying the effigy provides historical context for viewers to appreciate Cranley's significant contributions during medieval times. His coat of arms proudly displayed further emphasizes his noble heritage and status within society. This print offers us a glimpse into both the artistic craftsmanship prevalent during that era and the lasting legacy left behind by influential figures like Archbishop Thomas Cranley. It serves as a reminder that history is not merely confined to books but can be experienced through visual representations that capture its essence so vividly.
