EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history that is both fascinating and controversial. In 1871, the many wives of Mormon leader Brigham Young are seen attending the Mormon Theater in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. This image offers a glimpse into the unconventional lifestyle of polygamous marriages practiced by members of the Mormon religion during this time period.
The women depicted in this photograph are not just audience members at a theatre; they are also symbols of a unique and complex aspect of American religious history. Their presence at the theater speaks to their role as supportive partners to Brigham Young, who was known for his leadership within the Mormon community.
As we look at this snapshot from over 150 years ago, we are reminded of how different societal norms were back then compared to today. The concept of polygamy may seem foreign or even shocking to us now, but it was an accepted practice within certain religious communities during that era.
Overall, this print serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on an important chapter in American Christianity. It invites viewers to reflect on the diverse beliefs and traditions that have shaped our nation's past.
