1835 Attentively Extended Good Join Listen Papa Prayer Reads Samaritan Servants
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of evening prayer in a Victorian-era household, as depicted in a photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, circa 1835. The scene is set in a cozy, dimly lit room, where the family and their servants have gathered around a simple wooden table. In the center, "Papa" reads from an open Bible with great solemnity, his voice carrying through the stillness of the room. The family members, dressed in their finest attire, listen attentively, their faces reflecting a deep sense of reverence and devotion. The extended family, including children and elderly relatives, are joined by their servants, who have set aside their duties for this sacred moment. The inclusion of the servants underscores the importance of religion in all aspects of daily life, and the sense of community and unity that it fostered. The historical setting is further emphasized by the picture on the wall behind the family, which depicts the Good Samaritan, a biblical story of compassion and kindness. The image serves as a reminder of the moral values that the family holds dear, and the importance of helping those in need. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the role that religion played in the lives of families during this period, and the sense of unity and shared values that it fostered. It offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the enduring power of faith and the importance of coming together in prayer.
