Sunday in the Country, 1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Augustus Kollner that transports us back to a simpler time. The print depicts two young women elegantly dressed in bonnets and day dresses as they engage in an exhilarating horse race down a dusty country road on their way to Sunday-school. The accompanying text reveals that these ladies are no strangers to the saddle, having grown up riding horses fearlessly. They exude a wholesome air on this beautiful morning, and it is hoped that their conversation along the way will prepare them for worshiping God. This artwork captures not only the joy of youthful freedom but also highlights the importance of Christian education during this era. It serves as a reminder of how faith played an integral role in shaping society and guiding individuals towards moral values. Kollner's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate patterns on their dresses to the determination etched onto their faces. The lithograph beautifully encapsulates both movement and stillness, with dust billowing behind them while capturing a moment frozen in time. As we admire "Sunday in the Country, 1850" we are transported into this idyllic scene where nature blends seamlessly with spirituality. It invites us to reflect upon our own journeys towards spiritual enlightenment and reminds us of the timeless beauty found within art itself.
