EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures the intriguing title page of "A True Discourse of the Two Infamous Prophets, Richard Farnham, Weaver, and John Bull, Weaver" by T. H. , published in 1636. The woodcut engraving depicts two men believed to be the last prophets foretold in the Book of Revelation: Richard Farnham from White-Chapel and John Bull from Saint Botolph's Algate. In this image, we see a glimpse into the world of religious extremism during the 17th century. The two weavers turned self-proclaimed prophets are depicted with their tools - a spinner's stool and a Stuart-style loom - symbolizing their artisan background. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of Muggletonianism, an extreme sect that emerged during this period. This engraving serves as a visual representation of their beliefs and practices. As we delve into this thought-provoking piece, it becomes evident that religion played a crucial role in society during the seventeenth century. Through intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this woodcut invites us to explore themes such as faith, devotion, and fanaticism. Preserved within private collections today, this rare find offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own understanding of spirituality while appreciating the artistry behind it.
