This engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in American history - a Pastor's dinner inviting an African-American family in the year 1880. The colourful illustration showcases the cultural and social dynamics of that era, highlighting the complexities of immigration and race relations in America.
The image captures a scene filled with symbolism and emotion, as the African-American family is welcomed into a Christian gathering by their pastor. This gesture speaks volumes about unity, acceptance, and compassion during a time when racial tensions ran high.
The children in the picture represent innocence amidst adversity, reminding us of the importance of nurturing understanding and empathy across all communities. The engraver skillfully portrays this poignant moment with intricate details that draw viewers into the narrative unfolding before them.

This print is not just a visual representation but also a reflection of our collective past, urging us to learn from history as we strive towards building a more inclusive society for future generations.
