EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Recruiting for Savonarola, 'Ye cannot Serve God and Mammon'" transports us back to 1886, a time when religion and politics intertwined in Florence, Italy. The image depicts an intense scene of recruitment taking place on the streets of this historic city. In the foreground, we see women passionately engaging with potential recruits, their faces filled with determination. They hold banners adorned with powerful words: "Ye cannot Serve God and Mammon". These women are fervently advocating for the cause of Girolamo Savonarola, a prominent Dominican friar who preached against corruption and materialism within the Catholic Church. The atmosphere is charged with energy as people from all walks of life gather around to listen. The Italian flag proudly waves in the background, symbolizing national unity amidst religious fervor. This engraving captures not only a moment in history but also reflects broader themes such as faith versus worldly desires and the power of conviction. Frank W. W. Topham's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life through his skillful engraving technique. Through this artwork, we are reminded that throughout history individuals have been willing to fight for their beliefs regardless of personal cost or sacrifice. "Recruiting for Savonarola" serves as a poignant reminder that our choices shape our destiny – whether it be serving God or succumbing to earthly temptations represented by Mammon.
