EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing the timeless beauty of Old Swedes Church in Wilmington, Delaware. The church, also known as Holy Trinity Church, holds a significant place in American history as it was consecrated by a predominantly Swedish congregation that had migrated from the colony of New Sweden. The image showcases the architectural splendor of this colonial-era church with its prominent bell tower or belfry standing tall against the sky. Surrounding the building are lush branches and plants, adding a touch of nature to this historic site. The monochrome effect enhances the sense of nostalgia and transports us to an era long gone. This photograph is part of "A Tour Through the New World America" a book written by Professor George R. Cromwell and published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in 1897. It serves as a testament to both religious heritage and historical significance within this mid-Atlantic region. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel connected to those who once worshipped within these walls and laid their loved ones to rest in the adjacent graveyard adorned with gravestones. It reminds us that even amidst changing times, faith remains steadfast and architecture stands as a testament to our shared cultural identity.
