[John Bastwick.] Dr Bastwick for writing a Booke against Popish Bishops was first fined 1000 and Committed Closs-prisoner in the Gatehouse [...]
W. Hollar fecit [1640s].
Etching, laid on album sheet; sheet 130 x 75mm (5 x 3"). Loss top right.
John Bastwick (1595?-1654), Puritan religious controversialist and pamphleteer. One of five bust portraits etched by Wenceslaus Hollar of writers punished for their opinions on the High Church policy of Laud. As recounted in the text here, in 1637 they were fined impossibly large sums, lost their ears, and sentenced to life imprisonment (although Bastwick, after a spell in Star Castle in the Isles of Scilly, was released in 1644). It was etched on the same plate as two of the other portraits; the copperplate, now cut, is in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Hollar (1607-77) was a Bohemian printmaker who spent most of his career working in England, from a Protestant background (although he later converted to Catholicism). Hollar's technical skill has ensured that his prints have always been keenly collected, and comprehensive collections of his work are institutions in London, Berlin and Prague.

Engraving, with large margins. Plate 172 x 96mm. 6¾ x 3¾".
John Bastwick (1593-1654) was an English Puritan physician and controversial writer. He left Emmanuel College, Cambridge by left the universiety without a degree. He travelled and served for a time as a soldier, probably in the Dutch army. He then studied medicine abroad, and took the degree of M.D. at Padua. In 1623 he returned to England, and settled in Colchester where he practises as a physician. As a writer he was a Latin stylist and began a career as controversial with Latin works. In 1634 he published in the Netherlands two anti-Catholic Latin treatises 'Elenchus Religionis Papisticae'. In 1637 he produced in English the four parts of his 'Letanie of Dr. John Bastwicke', in which bishops were denounced as the enemies of God and the tail of The Beast; he was summoned before the Star Chamber for his publication. He then was imprisoned until his release was ordered in 1640 by the Long Parliament. In 1642, as the First English Civil War broke out, Bastwick was a captain of the Leicester trained bands, and was taken prisoner by the royalists and sent prisoner to York.
