EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Elizabeth Bury, née Lawrence (1644-1720), the devoted wife of the Reverend Samuel Bury. Elizabeth's quiet intensity and introspective gaze reflect the depth of her spiritual nature, which was mirrored in her husband's renowned religious diaries. Born in England in the mid-seventeenth century, Elizabeth married Samuel Bury, a Church of England clergyman, in the late 1660s. Their union was marked by a shared commitment to their faith and a deep connection to their community. Samuel's diaries, which he kept from 1655 until his death in 1698, offer a unique insight into the daily life and religious practices of the time. Elizabeth's influence is evident in the diaries, which frequently record her prayers, reflections, and spiritual experiences. Elizabeth's own diaries, though now lost to history, are believed to have been a source of inspiration and support for her husband's writing. The couple's devotion to their faith and their community was unwavering, and their diaries remain an invaluable resource for historians and scholars studying the religious and social history of the late seventeenth century. This portrait of Elizabeth Bury, taken around the turn of the eighteenth century, offers a glimpse into the life of a woman whose spiritual depth and commitment to her faith continue to inspire and intrigue. Her quiet, introspective demeanor belies the profound impact she had on her husband's work and on the historical record of her time.
