EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the Puritan era - the act of religious image breaking. In the 17th century, Puritans were known for their strict beliefs and practices within Protestantism, including their disdain for religious icons and imagery. This photograph showcases a group of Puritans engaging in iconoclasm, destroying religious images as a form of protest against what they saw as idolatry.
The intensity and determination on the faces of these individuals is palpable, reflecting their deep convictions and commitment to purifying Christianity from what they deemed to be false symbols. The historical significance of this event cannot be understated, as it marked a turning point in the way religion was practiced and perceived during this time period.
Through this powerful image, we are transported back to an era where faith was not only deeply personal but also highly contentious. The clash between tradition and reform is vividly portrayed here, reminding us of the complexities inherent in religious belief and practice.
Mary Evans Picture Library has expertly captured this moment in history with stunning detail and clarity. Their prints serve as valuable reminders of our past, allowing us to reflect on how far we have come while also honoring those who paved the way for change.
