EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, created by Howard Pyle in 1883, transports us to a Love Feast among the German Baptist Brethren at Ephrata, Pennsylvania. The scene depicts an intimate gathering within the walls of a late American room, filled with warmth and spiritual devotion. The image showcases the essence of romance between faith and community as members of this religious sect come together to share a meal. The preacher or minister stands at the center, delivering words from the Bible that resonate deeply with those present. Their faces reflect reverence and contemplation as they partake in this sacred feast. The men gathered here wear traditional attire, their old-fashioned beards adding to their distinguished appearance. Each individual embodies a sense of history and tradition that is unique to this North German sect known as Dunkers. Pyle's masterful engraving captures not only the physical details but also conveys the atmosphere and emotions present during such gatherings. It serves as a testament to both his artistic skill and his ability to depict scenes that hold cultural significance. As we gaze upon this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time, gaining insight into an important aspect of religious life in Pennsylvania during the late 19th century.
