Bunyan Caught Church Army Evangelism Indoctrination John Bunyan Lantern Slide Pilgrims Progress Religious Tract Society Entangled

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Entangled in the Net, c1910" takes us back to a bygone era when religious storytelling was brought to life through glass lantern slides. Created by an unknown artist as part of the Church Army Lantern Department's extensive collection, this particular slide depicts a scene from John Bunyan's renowned literary work, "The Pilgrim's Progress". In this mesmerizing image, we witness a male figure caught in a circular net, symbolizing the entanglements and challenges faced on one's spiritual journey. The man appears vulnerable yet determined as he grapples with his predicament. An angelic presence hovers above him, representing divine guidance and protection. During the early 20th century, these lantern slides were not only available for hire but also transported across the country in special vans for evangelical purposes. They served as powerful tools for spreading Christian teachings and promoting faith-based values within communities. Through its intricate composition and thought-provoking concept, this photograph encapsulates both the artistic beauty of allegorical imagery and its profound impact on religious indoctrination during that time. It stands as a testament to John Bunyan's enduring influence on literature and Christianity. Preserved by The Print Collector under Heritage Images' care today, this remarkable piece invites us to reflect upon our own spiritual journeys while appreciating the rich history behind these unique forms of visual storytelling.
