John Henry Newman, British cardinal, late 19th century
John Henry Newman, British cardinal, late 19th century. Newman (1801-1890) was a leading priest in the Church of England whose conversion to Catholicism was a major event of the 1840s. Newman was a popular speaker and a scholar at Oxford, making his conversion all the more welcome to Catholics and shocking to Anglicans. Newman had been ordained as an Anglican priest in 1825; he was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1847, and in 1879 he was created a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII. His Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1864) is considered a classic among religious autobiographies. (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized print captures the esteemed figure of John Henry Newman, a prominent British cardinal from the late 19th century. Newman's significance lies in his journey from being a leading priest in the Church of England to his conversion to Catholicism, which caused ripples across religious communities during the 1840s. With an impressive background as both a popular speaker and scholar at Oxford, his decision to embrace Catholicism was warmly received by Catholics but shocked Anglicans. Born in 1801 and passing away in 1890, Newman's life spanned an era of great change and theological exploration. Ordained as an Anglican priest in 1825, he later became ordained as a Catholic priest in 1847 after embracing the faith wholeheartedly. In recognition of his contributions to Catholicism, Pope Leo XIII bestowed upon him the prestigious title of cardinal in 1879. Newman's intellectual prowess is evident through his renowned work "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" (1864), considered a classic among religious autobiographies. This portrait showcases him wearing traditional attire befitting his role as a cardinal: donning a skull cap that symbolizes his high rank within the Roman Catholic hierarchy. The colorization brings this historical figure to life, allowing us to appreciate not only Newman's significant impact on religion but also glimpse into Victorian-era fashion and style choices. As we observe this image, we are reminded of Cardinal Newman's enduring legacy as both theologian and convert who left an indelible mark on Christian history.
