EDITORS COMMENTS
CHURCH SCENE, 1916: Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. In this American magazine illustration by Will Vawter, we are transported back to an early Sunday morning in 1916. The scene unfolds inside a quaint Protestant church, where families and congregants gather for worship. As the minister delivers his sermon with passion and conviction, our attention is drawn to a man seated in one of the pews. His eyes wander away from the preacher's words as he daydreams about his beloved automobile. This whimsical moment captures the essence of human nature - even within sacred spaces, our minds can drift towards our most cherished possessions. Vawter's skillful brushstrokes bring life to each character in this imaginary congregation. Men dressed in their finest suits engage in deep conversation while women adorned with elegant hats listen intently. A young boy sits on a chair beside his family, captivated by the colorful illustrations within his hymn book. This snapshot of Americana showcases not only religious devotion but also the evolving transportation culture of that era. It reminds us that amidst spiritual contemplation, earthly desires may still find their way into our thoughts. With its rich historical context and intricate details, this print invites us to reflect on what truly holds value in our lives – whether it be faith or material possessions.
