EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Baptism of North American Indians: Mormons Posing as the Apostles of Christianity" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image, captured in 1882, showcases an engraving that beautifully depicts this unique event. In this illustrative technique, we see a group of Native Americans being baptized by individuals posing as apostles of Christianity. The scene is filled with cultural and religious symbolism, highlighting the fusion between indigenous traditions and Mormon beliefs during that time. The retro-styled vintage print transports us to the Victorian era, offering a glimpse into the arts and culture prevalent at the time. It serves as a reminder of how historical events shaped our nation's identity and religious landscape. The engravement itself is meticulously crafted, showcasing intricate details that bring life to each figure portrayed. This piece from the Liszt Collection captures not only an important moment but also represents a larger narrative about colonialism, assimilation efforts, and religious practices in America.
