Description:
|
Engraved copper printing plate depicting the punishment of the Quaker leader James Naylor (1618-1660) after his being found guilty in London in 1656 of committing offences under the Blasphemy Act of 1650. Naylor avoided being sentenced to death but was whipped through the streets by the hangman, put into the pillory, had his tongue bored with a hot iron and the letter “B” for blasphemy branded onto his forehead before being subjected to indefinite solitary confinement in Bridewell. He was not released until September 1659 when an amnesty for Quaker prisoners was declared. The two part depiction shows his tongue being bored and his being whipped at the rear of a cart. Previously attributed to Wenceslaus Hollar in Gustav Parthey’s catalogue of 1853, however in Richard Pennington’s A descriptive catalogue of the etched work of Wenceslaus Hollar (1982) it is classified (p.91) as a probable example of Hollar’s style being faithfully copied by his pupil the etcher Richard Gaywood.
