EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "John Williams being killed" transports us back to the 19th century, depicting a dramatic and tragic moment in history. The image showcases an intense scene on a steep and stony beach where John Williams, a stout heavy man and missionary, finds himself under attack. The composition captures the desperation of the situation as Williams falls into the water while his pursuer relentlessly strikes him with a club. His head and arms bear the brunt of these brutal blows. This haunting illustration is taken from Edwin Hodder's book "Heroes of Britain in Peace and War" published around 1890. The digital cleaning process has restored this powerful image to its former glory, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. As we examine this print closely, we are reminded of the dangers faced by those who dedicated their lives to spreading their beliefs during challenging times. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection for our contemplation.
