Hell Upon Earth!
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from 1884 that offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of religious sects in 19th century North America. This thought-provoking image, part of The Stapleton Collection and now housed in a private collection, showcases the American School's artistic prowess. The print transports us to Salt Lake City, Utah, where we witness a group of young girls belonging to the Church of the Latter Day Saints. Commonly known as Mormons, this religious community has long fascinated scholars and historians alike. Through their distinctive dress and solemn expressions, these girls represent an important aspect of Mormon culture during that era. The title "Hell Upon Earth!" hints at the controversial nature surrounding religious sects like the Mormons. It invites viewers to ponder upon the societal perceptions and prejudices faced by such communities during this period. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate both the technical skill employed by American School artists and their ability to capture complex themes within their work. As we gaze upon this engraving today, it serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving understanding of religion and its impact on society throughout history.
