EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Edward Goldney (1656-1723) in the quiet solitude of his study, deeply engrossed in his writing as the early hours of the morning break. Goldney, a senior widower and prolific religious writer, is depicted with a quill pen in hand and an open Bible before him, the dimly lit room illuminated only by the flickering light of a single candle. The passage of time is marked by the night watchman calling the hour outside, adding a sense of urgency to the scene. Goldney's motto, "Love without dissimulation," is a testament to his deep faith and commitment to authenticity in his writing. He was a respected figure in the religious community of his time, known for his heartfelt and sincere works that touched the lives of many. The date of this photograph is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been taken sometime in the early 18th century, around 1710. The image offers a glimpse into the life of a dedicated writer and man of faith, capturing the essence of his devotion to his craft and his unwavering commitment to the truth. Edward Goldney's legacy continues to inspire and resonate with readers today, and this hauntingly beautiful image serves as a poignant reminder of the power of the written word and the enduring nature of faith.
