EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the Statue of Robert Raikes on the Thames Embankment, a testament to the remarkable man who founded the Sunday School movement. The image showcases an English School's intricate craftsmanship from the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. Robert Raikes, depicted in this engraving, was a pioneer in Christian education and his legacy lives on through this magnificent statue. Standing tall against the backdrop of the Thames Embankment, it serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to religious education. The illustration was created for J Henry Harris' book "Robert Raikes, the Man who Founded the Sunday School" published around 1890. It beautifully encapsulates Raikes' dedication to establishing schools that provided moral guidance and academic instruction to children on Sundays when they were not working. The statue itself exudes reverence and respect for its subject matter. Its presence evokes feelings of admiration for Robert Raikes' vision and determination in shaping educational practices that have had far-reaching impacts even today. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are reminded of how one person's passion can ignite change and transform communities. This engraving immortalizes both Robert Raikes' commitment to Christian education and his lasting influence on generations to come.
