EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "The Valiant Warrior" transports us back to the early 20th century, capturing a scene from John Bunyan's renowned literary work, "The Pilgrim's Progress". The unknown creator skillfully brings to life this allegorical tale through a glass lantern slide produced by the Church Army Lantern Department. Intriguingly circular in shape, the image portrays a valiant knight clad in an impressive suit of armor. With sword raised high, he stands as a symbol of unwavering faith and determination in the face of spiritual warfare. This evocative artwork embodies the essence of Christian belief and serves as an instrument for evangelism. During its time, this powerful visual aid was widely available for hire and transported across the country in special vans by the Church Army Lantern Department. Its purpose was clear - to be shown to groups of people with evangelical intentions. Through indoctrination and education about religious concepts, these glass lantern slides played a significant role in spreading Christianity throughout communities. Today, this remarkable piece offers us not only a glimpse into history but also invites contemplation on themes such as courage, devotion, and perseverance within one's faith journey. As we gaze upon this enigmatic warrior frozen in time, we are reminded that even amidst life's battles and challenges, our inner strength can guide us towards victory over adversity.
