EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Catherine Booth (1829-1890), the co-founder of the Salvation Army, is depicted in this striking black and white portrait from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," published in 1890. Booth's strong and determined expression conveys her unwavering commitment to her faith and charitable work. She is dressed in the uniform of the Salvation Army, which she and her husband, William Booth, established in 1865 to provide aid to the poor and homeless in London's East End. The uniform, consisting of a bonnet, collar, and cuffs, was designed to distinguish Salvation Army members from other religious groups and to instill a sense of discipline and unity. Catherine Booth's influence on the Salvation Army was significant, as she played a key role in shaping its mission and philosophy. She was known for her passionate preaching and her ability to connect with people from all walks of life. The Salvation Army, which now operates in over 120 countries, continues to carry on her legacy of compassion and service to this day.
