1886 Husband Mormonism Mormons Salt Wives
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare glimpse into the home life of Mormons in Salt Lake City in 1886. The image showcases a husband surrounded by his multiple wives, providing a fascinating insight into the unique family dynamics of Mormonism during this period.
The historical significance of this photograph cannot be understated, as it offers viewers a window into a time and place where polygamy was not only accepted but practiced openly within certain religious communities. The composition of the image is striking, with each wife positioned around their husband in what appears to be a harmonious domestic scene.
The setting of Salt Lake City adds another layer of interest to the photograph, as it was and continues to be an important hub for followers of the Mormon faith. The city's proximity to the Great Salt Lake further enhances its significance within Mormon history and culture.
Overall, this print from Mary Evans Picture Library serves as both a visual record and cultural artifact that sheds light on an often misunderstood aspect of American religious history. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as marriage, family structure, religion, and tradition while also appreciating the artistry and storytelling inherent in historical photography.
