Belief Bible Christian Mystic Fanatic Revelations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joanna Southcott, an intriguing figure from English history. Born around 1750 and passing away in 1814, she was known as a mystic and religious fanatic. Believing herself to be the woman described in the biblical book of Revelations 12, Southcott made bold claims about her divine purpose. In this stipple engraving by Archive from Universal Images Group (UIG), we see Southcott's enigmatic presence captured for eternity. Her eyes hold a mixture of determination and fervent belief as she stands before us, draped in mystery and conviction. Southcott's most audacious declaration came when she announced that on October 19th, 1814, she would give birth to the second Prince of Peace. This prophecy shook her followers and attracted widespread attention across England at the time. Sadly, just two months after making this extraordinary claim, Southcott succumbed to a brain tumor in December 1814. Despite her untimely demise, her legacy lives on as a testament to unwavering faith and unyielding devotion. This print serves as a reminder of the power of belief and its ability to shape individuals' lives throughout history. It invites contemplation on the fine line between religious fervor and fanaticism while offering insight into one woman's extraordinary journey through faith.
