EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting wood engraving from 1848 depicts John Oldcastle, Lord Cobham (1378-1417), a fearless Lollard leader who was condemned as a heretic for his beliefs. His refusal to accept transubstantiation led to his brutal execution by hanging and burning in St Giles's Fields, London in 1417.
Despite the tragic end to his life, Oldcastle's legacy lived on through literature. He served as the original model for one of Shakespeare's most iconic characters, John Falstaff. Known for his wit and larger-than-life personality, Falstaff embodied many of the qualities that made Oldcastle such a memorable figure in history.
The detailed craftsmanship of this wood engraving captures the solemnity of Oldcastle's final moments and serves as a powerful reminder of the persecution faced by those who dared to challenge religious orthodoxy during this tumultuous period in British history.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the courage and conviction of a man who stood firm in his beliefs despite facing unimaginable punishment. John Oldcastle may have been silenced centuries ago, but his story continues to resonate with all who value freedom of thought and expression.
