EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artifact that takes us back to the turbulent times of the English Civil War. The image depicts a broadsheet appeal to Diggers, published in 1650, during the interregnum period. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 17th century, this engraving is now part of a private collection. The broadsheet itself serves as a powerful political tool, urging all Englishmen to make their judgment between bondage and freedom. It represents the radical movements of its time, including Levellers and Diggers who fought for social justice and equality amidst political unrest. The scene depicted in this print transports us to St George Hill in Surrey, where these revolutionary ideas flourished. The significance lies not only in its historical context but also in its visual representation - capturing the essence of an era marked by intense ideological debates. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of how newspapers have long been instrumental in shaping public opinion and sparking change. This particular engraving encapsulates the spirit of resistance against oppression that prevailed during those transformative years. With its intricate details and monochromatic palette, this photograph invites us to reflect on our own journey towards freedom while paying homage to those who bravely challenged societal norms centuries ago.
