"Puritanical: A Glimpse into the World of Strict Morality and Iconoclasm" Step back in time with us as we explore the puritanical era through a collection of captivating artworks and historical artifacts. The woodcut and letterpress from "The Vindication of Christmas, 1653" transports us to a time when celebrations were frowned upon, but still persisted despite societal disapproval. In Alfred Johannot's mezzotint masterpiece, "The Family of Cromwell Interceding for The Life of Charles I, " we witness the complex dynamics between power, religion, and mercy. This thought-provoking print reminds us that even those who championed strict moral codes could be moved by compassion. R Clamp's engraving titled "Sir Amias Poulett" takes us further into this world where individuals were defined by their unwavering principles. Poulett's stern countenance reflects his commitment to upholding puritan values amidst a society filled with temptations. An engraving depicting puritan iconoclasts burning a crucifix taken from a church on the road to Norwich showcases the extreme measures some took to eradicate what they deemed as idolatry. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the fervor that drove these reformers. Moving beyond religious contexts, F. Cowles, T. Bates' printed work titled "A Purge for Pluralities" sheds light on another aspect of puritanism - its influence on social structures beyond faith alone. It delves into debates surrounding multiple benefices held by clergymen during this period. Daniel Webster's engraved portrait captures an influential figure whose political career was shaped by his adherence to puritan ethics while navigating America's changing landscape in the early 19th century. His stoic expression hints at both determination and conviction. Arthur Hildersam's print entitled "The Doctrine of Fasting" provides insight into the puritanical approach to spiritual discipline.
