EDITORS COMMENTS
England's God is Money: Money - the accepted religion of England (1870) is a powerful and thought-provoking image that captures the essence of the corrupting influence of greed and the shifting priorities of morals during the Industrial Revolution in England. This photograph, taken in 1870, depicts a group of people intently focused on their money, their faces contorted in expressions of intense concentration and desire. The caption "Money - the accepted religion of England" underscores the idea that money had become the root of people's actions and beliefs, replacing traditional religious values. The image is a stark reminder of the moral decay that accompanied the rise of capitalism and the all-consuming pursuit of wealth. The people in the photograph are shown in a dimly lit room, with only the flickering light of a few candles illuminating their faces. The darkness around them emphasizes the secrecy and hidden nature of their activities, suggesting that they are engaged in something illicit or immoral. The concept of money as a god is not a new one, but in this image, it takes on a particularly sinister tone. The people in the photograph are not just worshipping money; they are worshipping it as an evil deity that demands their complete devotion and sacrifice. The image challenges us to question the values of a society that places such a high premium on wealth and material possessions, and to consider the true cost of our own obsession with money. England's God is Money: Money - the accepted religion of England (1870) is a powerful reminder of the corrupting influence of greed and the importance of maintaining a moral compass in a world that can all too easily become consumed by the pursuit of wealth. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of capitalism, the role of money in society, and the human condition.
