EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of Sampson Wilder, an American merchant and evangelical Christian, as he pushes a barrow through the streets of Cary, Massachusetts in the 19th century. The image showcases his unwavering dedication to both his work and faith. Wilder's determined expression reflects his strong character and commitment to his mission. As a missionary and merchant, he tirelessly traverses the bustling streets with a wheelbarrow filled with goods, symbolizing his industrious nature. His presence on horseback adds an element of intrigue to this historical scene. The artist skillfully portrays not only Wilder but also several animals that surround him. Horses, racehorses, ponies, shire horses, stallions - they all contribute to the lively atmosphere depicted in this print. These creatures represent not just livestock or farm animals but also serve as metaphors for the wildness and unpredictability of life itself. Furthermore, this engraving offers insight into religious values prevalent during that era. With its inclusion in "Romance of Real Life" it becomes evident that Wilder's story was considered exemplary by The Religious Tract Society around 1890. In summary, this remarkable artwork encapsulates Sampson Wilder's multifaceted identity as an American merchant and evangelical Christian pushing a barrow through Cary's streets. It serves as a testament to his tireless efforts in spreading both commerce and faith while providing us with valuable glimpses into history at the intersection of religion and daily life in 19th-century America.
