EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Reverend Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, Dean of Westminster, delivering a sermon at the Vestry Fair in 1872. Stanley, born in 1815, was a prominent Anglican clergyman and historian, known for his scholarly works on the history of the Church of England and the Anglican Communion. In this image, Stanley is seen dressed in his full vestments, including a white surplice and black robe, as he addresses the congregation at the annual Vestry Fair, a charity event held in the precincts of Westminster Abbey. The Vestry Fair was an important tradition in the Anglican Church, with proceeds going towards the support of the poor and needy. The photograph, taken in 1881, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the Victorian era and the world of Anglican worship. Stanley's stern yet compassionate expression, combined with the solemn atmosphere of the setting, underscores the importance of faith and community in the lives of the people of that time. The image also serves as a reminder of Stanley's significant contributions to Anglican history and theology. He was a leading figure in the Oxford Movement, which sought to promote the traditional Anglican faith and practices, and his works continue to be studied and revered by scholars and clergy around the world. Overall, this photograph is a precious historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the life and work of a remarkable man who played a pivotal role in shaping the Anglican Church and the religious landscape of Victorian England.
