EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of General Booth, the renowned English religious leader and founder of the Salvation Army. Taken in 1891, during a lecture on his Emigration Scheme titled "In Darkest England" this wood engraving showcases General Booth's commanding presence as he addresses an attentive audience. Dressed in his distinctive late Victorian uniform, General Booth stands at a podium with one hand raised in a powerful gesture. His beard and aged features add to his aura of wisdom and experience. The hall is filled with men and women who have come to hear him speak about his visionary plan for reforming society through emigration. The wood engraving beautifully portrays the atmosphere of the time, with its intricate details capturing every aspect of this historic moment. From the ornate railing behind General Booth to the expressions on the faces of those listening intently, it transports us back to turn-of-the-century England. General Booth's leadership shines through as he passionately advocates for change, inspiring hope among both immigrants seeking a better life and those longing for social transformation within their own country. This image serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a dedicated Protestant reformer. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this remarkable piece from history, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance.
