EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in history - a group of American Shakers dancing at a meeting. The illustration, originally published in the newspaper "The Graphic" in May 1870, showcases the unique cultural practices of this religious community. The image portrays a scene filled with energy and joy as men, women, and children come together to partake in this traditional dance. The British School artist from the 19th century beautifully depicts the intricate movements and expressions of each dancer. In their distinctive attire, these American Shakers exude confidence and grace as they engage in this age-old custom. Their unity is palpable as they move harmoniously to the rhythm of their own traditions. This engraving offers us a glimpse into colonial America's diverse tapestry, highlighting both English influences on American culture and the rich heritage brought by immigrants from Brittany. It serves as a reminder that even amidst great change and upheaval, traditions can endure through generations. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every detail of this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance within American history. This print is an invaluable addition to any collection that seeks to explore folk dances or understand how religion has shaped communities throughout time.
