EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable journey of William Tyndale, an influential figure in English history. In the image, we witness Tyndale diligently printing his groundbreaking translation of the New Testament at a press in Cologne during 1525. His tireless efforts to make the Bible accessible to ordinary people were met with great opposition from religious authorities. The second part of this mural depicts a smuggled copy of Tyndale's New Testament being read clandestinely in England the following year. This powerful scene reflects both the danger and determination that surrounded Tyndale's work. Despite facing persecution and ultimately martyrdom for his beliefs, he remained steadfast in his mission to bring God's word closer to all. Violet Oakley, a talented artist known for her murals, beautifully captures this historical moment through her meticulous craftsmanship. Through her brushstrokes, she immortalizes not only Tyndale but also pays homage to the skillful craftsmen who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes in print shops during this era. This print serves as a testament to Tyndale's significant contribution as an English translator and reformer during the Renaissance period. It reminds us of how one person's dedication can ignite profound change within society and religion alike.
