EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Shakers near Lebanon" takes us back in time to the heart of American settlers' social and religious life. Published by Currier & Ives, renowned for their exquisite colour lithographs, this piece captures the essence of a unique community known as the Shakers. In this image, we witness a scene within an interior space where male and female members of the Shaker society engage in a spirited dance. The vibrant colours bring to life the energy and joy emanating from their movements. Each figure is meticulously depicted, showcasing their distinctive puritan attire. The Shakers were a religious sect that flourished during the 18th and 19th centuries in Pennsylvania. Known for their strict beliefs and communal lifestyle, they sought spiritual enlightenment through celibacy, simplicity, and hard work. This photograph offers us a glimpse into one of their cherished traditions - dancing. As we observe these individuals gracefully moving together, we can't help but be captivated by their unity and sense of harmony. Their devotion to each other is palpable through every step they take on this sacred ground. "The Shakers near Lebanon" serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of American settlers who paved the way for future generations. It reminds us that even amidst hardship and isolation, communities like these found solace in shared rituals that brought them closer together.
