EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled ""One of the gang raised him up and placed him against a well, and while in this position. . . "" depicts a dramatic scene from history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, it showcases a pivotal moment during the tragic death of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter-Day Saints or Mormons. In this intense illustration, one member of a hostile mob lifts Joseph Smith and leans him against a well. As he stands vulnerable in this position, four others step forward with loaded muskets aimed at the "Prophet". The tension is palpable as they prepare to fire upon him. The image originates from an engraving used to illustrate "The Mormons or Latter-Day Saints" published in 1852 on Strand Street. This particular print has been digitally cleaned for enhanced clarity. Joseph Smith's martyrdom holds great significance within Mormon history. It symbolizes his unwavering dedication to his faith despite facing persecution and violence.
