1821 Baker Boston Days Eddy Founder Oval


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oval photograph, Mary Baker Eddy, the founding figure of Christian Science, is depicted in her early days in Boston during the late 19th century. The image, taken around 1890, captures Eddy in her mid-sixties, with a thoughtful yet smiling expression that hints at the profound wisdom and determination that would come to define her legacy. Born in Bowdoinham, Maine, in 1821, Eddy's life took a transformative turn after a debilitating accident left her bedridden for several years. Seeking relief from her pain, she turned to spiritual healing and eventually discovered the teachings of Phineas Quimby, a renowned faith healer. Inspired by these principles, Eddy began to develop her own unique system of healing, which she would later call Christian Science. By the late 1860s, Eddy had established a following in Lynn, Massachusetts, and in 1879, she published her seminal work, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." This book, which presented her interpretation of the Bible and the nature of God, quickly gained a devoted readership and laid the foundation for the Christian Science movement. In the photograph, Eddy is dressed in a dark, high-collared dress, her hair pulled back into a neat chignon. The somber attire and serious expression belie the revolutionary ideas that would soon challenge traditional religious and medical establishments. The image offers a glimpse into the life of a woman who, against all odds, transformed her own suffering into a powerful force for healing and spiritual growth. This photograph, with its historical significance and intriguing subject matter, is an essential addition to any collection of early 20th-century American history or the study of religious movements. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and inspire change.
