EDITORS COMMENTS
This Methodist Book-Plate, awarded to A W Harris of Littlehampton, Sussex in the 1870s, is a fascinating glimpse into the history of education and religion in Britain. The Wesleyan Sunday School prizewinners book-plate was given to Harris as recognition for his dedication and achievement within the Methodist community.
In the 19th century, Methodism was a prominent religious movement in England, with Sunday schools playing a crucial role in educating children about the faith. To be awarded such a prestigious book-plate would have been a great honor for Harris, showcasing his commitment to his religious studies.
Littlehampton, located on the south coast of England, was home to many dissenters and Methodists who sought spiritual guidance outside of the established Church of England. It is likely that Harris stood out among his peers as an exemplary student who excelled in his studies and demonstrated a deep understanding of Methodist teachings.
As we admire this historical artifact today, we can only imagine what A W Harris did to deserve such recognition. Perhaps he showed exceptional knowledge of scripture, participated actively in church activities, or displayed unwavering devotion to his faith. Whatever it may be, this book-plate serves as a reminder of the importance placed on education and religious practice within Victorian society.
