This engraving, titled "The Baptism" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a significant sacrament within a family setting. The print showcases an English School's talent in illustrating this sacred event for Aunt Friendly's Sunday Keepsake, published by Frederick Warne around 1880. The scene depicts a moment of profound spiritual significance as a child is being baptized. The artist skillfully portrays the solemnity and reverence surrounding this ritual, emphasizing its importance within the Christian faith. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the emotions felt by both the family members present and those witnessing this transformative act. As we delve into this enchanting piece, it becomes evident that family plays a central role in this baptismal ceremony. All eyes are fixed on the child being initiated into their religious community while relatives gather together to offer support and celebrate this joyous occasion.
