EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Quaker woman preaching" takes us back to the 18th century and offers a glimpse into the world of religious devotion and gender equality. The image showcases a Quaker woman passionately delivering her sermon, surrounded by an attentive audience. Dressed in traditional Quaker attire, this historical figure stands as a symbol of strength and resilience within the Christian community. Her modest costume, complete with a distinctive hat, reflects the simplicity valued by Quakers at that time. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this print. From the intricate engravings on her dress to the expressions on each face in the crowd, it captures both the solemnity and fervor of religious gatherings during this era. This engraving was originally featured in "Ceremonies et Coutumes Religieuses de Toue les Peuples du Monde" (J F Bernard, Amsterdam, 1736), highlighting its significance as an illustration of various religious customs worldwide. As we reflect upon this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of women's pivotal roles throughout history – not only within Christianity but also within society at large. It speaks volumes about their determination to challenge societal norms and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an extraordinary piece from their collection that invites us to delve deeper into our shared past while celebrating remarkable individuals who have shaped our present-day understanding of faith and equality.
