EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic John Street Methodist Church in New York City during the late 18th century. Standing proudly in the doorway is Peter Williams, an influential figure who served as the church sexton and later went on to found the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. The watercolor painting beautifully captures the architectural grandeur of this significant religious institution. The image transports us back to a time when Manhattan was still developing as a bustling city, with North America's first Methodist congregation finding its home on John Street. This place of worship became a beacon for both black and white congregants seeking spiritual solace and community. Peter Williams, depicted with dignity and grace, played an instrumental role in shaping not only the life of this church but also that of countless African Americans seeking religious freedom and empowerment. His legacy as a founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church remains etched into history. Through this fine art piece, we are reminded of how architecture can serve as more than just bricks and mortar; it represents hope, unity, and resilience. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene from centuries ago, we appreciate both the physical beauty of this building and its profound significance within American history.
