1829 Appearance Birthday Booth Congregation Founder Meeting Salvation Albert
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the last public appearance of General William Booth, the charismatic and visionary founder of the Salvation Army, at his 83rd birthday celebration held in the prestigious Royal Albert Hall on October 10, 1912. Booth, who was born on February 10, 1829, is depicted here in profile, his long white beard framing his deeply lined face, as he addresses the devoted congregation that had gathered to honor him. With a career spanning over eight decades, Booth's tireless dedication to helping the poor, the homeless, and the marginalized had transformed the Salvation Army from a small religious sect into a global humanitarian organization. The image serves as a powerful reminder of Booth's enduring legacy and his unwavering commitment to social reform. This historical photograph is a testament to the indelible impact that one man's vision and determination can have on the world.
