EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The magic lantern slide, created around 1894, is a testament to the social history of that period. Titled "Jessica's First Prayer" this English slide set tells a heartwarming story using life models against a beautifully painted background. The image depicts three young girls outside a church, representing different walks of life - one rich and two poor. Their contrasting backgrounds symbolize the stark disparities prevalent in society at that time. Despite their differences, they are engaged in an animated conversation, perhaps discussing Jessica's first prayer. The artist behind this masterpiece is John Short, who skillfully captures both the innocence and complexity of these characters through his meticulous attention to detail. The painted background adds depth and ambiance to the scene while enhancing its visual appeal. As we gaze upon this enchanting photograph print today, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come socially since those times. It also prompts us to reflect on our own beliefs and values when observing such historical artifacts – reminding us that even amidst societal divisions, human connection can transcend boundaries and bring people together in unexpected ways.
