Church Congregation Preacher Sermon Speech
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century wood engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a powerful moment of religious fervor. The print, titled "PREACHER, 19th CENTURY. The Long Sermon" depicts an exterior scene outside a grand church where a congregation has gathered eagerly to listen to their preacher's sermon. The artist behind this remarkable work is Edwin Austin Abbey (1852-1911), known for his exceptional attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of human emotion. Through his skilled hand, we can almost hear the impassioned words flowing from the preacher's mouth as he delivers what appears to be an extensive sermon. The congregation stands attentively, their faces reflecting a mix of awe and contemplation. Men dressed in formal attire dominate the scene, suggesting that this gathering holds great importance within society at that time. This wood engraving by Abbey serves as a testament not only to his artistic prowess but also highlights the significance of religion during the 19th century. It reminds us of how faith played a central role in people's lives and brought communities together under one roof. As we gaze upon this historic image captured by The Granger Collection in New York, it invites us into an era long gone but still resonates with its timeless themes of devotion and spirituality.
