EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the royal mandate to erase the name of John Locke from the students of Christ Church, Oxford in 1684. This expulsion came about due to suspicions surrounding Locke's alleged involvement in the Rye House Plot, a conspiracy to overthrow and assassinate King James II. Despite limited evidence linking him directly to the plot, Locke chose to flee to the Netherlands for his own safety. The image showcases an illustration from A Short History of the English People by John Richard Green, published in 1894. It offers us a glimpse into this pivotal event during England's seventeenth century. The monochrome photograph evokes a sense of solemnity and intrigue as we observe handwriting on the document that bears witness to this historical decision. The mandate symbolizes both power and vulnerability within education institutions as it reflects how political circumstances can influence academic life. This image serves as a reminder of how individuals like Locke faced adversity during times of political turmoil. It also highlights their resilience and determination to continue their intellectual pursuits despite being cast out from prestigious establishments like Christ Church College. Ultimately, this print invites us into an era where ideas clashed with authority and demonstrates how even renowned thinkers were not immune from persecution or suppression when their beliefs challenged those in power.
