EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking half-length portrait captures the revered Rev. George Duffield D.D. (1811-1878), an influential American Presbyterian clergyman and hymn writer, in a moment of deep reflection. Dressed in the formal attire of the time, Rev. Duffield sits with his left hand resting on a folded Bible, while his right hand cradles a quill pen and inkwell, suggesting the composition of a sermon or hymn. The intricately patterned wallpaper and ornate woodwork behind him underscore the elegance and refinement of the setting. Born in Pennsylvania, Rev. Duffield began his ministerial career in 1832, eventually becoming the pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. He is best known for his hymns, which include the beloved "Blessed Assurance," "I Will Sing of My Redeemer," and "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus." His hymns continue to be sung in churches around the world, making a lasting impact on Christian worship. Rev. Duffield's influence extended beyond the pulpit, as he was also an advocate for the abolition of slavery and an early supporter of the YMCA. His dedication to his faith and his community earned him numerous accolades, including an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary. This portrait, taken around 1852, offers a glimpse into the life of a man whose words and actions touched the lives of countless individuals. Rev. Duffield's legacy as a revered clergyman, hymn writer, and advocate for social justice continues to inspire and uplift generations.
