EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - a Mormon carving granite for temple construction. The engraving, based on Jules Ferat's drawing, beautifully illustrates the story "La conquete blanche" by William Hepworth Dixon, published in "Le tour du monde" in 1876. In this image, we witness the dedication and craftsmanship of the Mormon community as they work diligently to construct their sacred temple. The laborer is seen meticulously chiseling away at the solid granite with precision and skill. His hands tell a story of hard work and determination, embodying the spirit of American ingenuity. The scene evokes a sense of awe and reverence for both the physical task at hand and the religious devotion that drives it. It serves as a testament to the unwavering faith that guided these individuals throughout their journey. Published during an era marked by rapid industrialization and expansion across America, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in United States history. It highlights not only the progress made through construction but also sheds light on religious practices that have shaped communities across North America. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's Selva Collection invites us to reflect upon our shared heritage while appreciating the artistry captured within its frame.
