A Quaker Meeting - Or, How to Sit Down and Worship the Devil in Comfort,
EDITORS COMMENTS
Circa 1830. This satirical print offers a humorous yet insightful commentary on the Quaker sect, a religious group known for their distinctive practices and beliefs, which emerged in the 17th century in England. The title itself, "How to Sit Down and Worship the Devil in Comfort," alludes to the common perception that Quakers, with their plain dress and simple worship practices, were not only unconventional but also potentially in league with the devil. The image depicts a group of Quakers gathered in a meeting house, each one seemingly more uncomfortable than the next. One man, with a pitchfork in hand, appears to be in the throes of a fit, while another, with a devilish grin, seems to be enjoying the discomfort. A woman in the foreground, with a broom in hand, sweeps the floor as if to suggest that the devil is present in the room. The use of such imagery was a common tactic in anti-Quaker satire, which sought to mock and ridicule the group's unorthodox beliefs and practices. Despite the derisive tone of the print, it offers a glimpse into the social and religious climate of the time. The Quakers, who rejected the established Church of England and its hierarchical structure, were often subjected to ridicule and persecution. This print, therefore, serves as a reminder of the complex and often contentious relationship between religion and society in 19th-century England. The print also highlights the role of satire as a means of social commentary and critique. By using humor and exaggeration, satirical works like this one were able to challenge societal norms and provoke thought and discussion. Today, this print remains an intriguing and insightful window into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history of Quakerism and the broader cultural context of the time.
