1867 Cartwright Equestrian Methodist Pieter Rain Second Great Awakening Storm Umbrella
EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1867, titled "Circuit Preacher" takes us back to a time of great religious fervor and the Second Great Awakening in America. Inspired by the renowned Methodist preacher Peter Cartwright, this print captures the essence of his dedication and determination as he travels through stormy weather on horseback. In this scene, we see a rugged equestrian rider braving the elements with an umbrella in hand. The pouring rain and dark clouds overhead create a dramatic backdrop for this courageous circuit preacher. His unwavering faith shines through as he continues his journey to spread the word of God. The engraving beautifully depicts both the physical challenges faced by these preachers during their travels and their spiritual mission to bring hope and salvation to communities across America. The image also serves as a reminder of how religion played a central role in shaping society during that era. Through its intricate details, such as the texture of the horse's mane and cartwheels rolling along muddy roads, this artwork transports us back in time. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in American history when men like Peter Cartwright dedicated their lives to spreading faith amidst adversity. This remarkable piece is part of The Granger Collection from New York—a treasure trove capturing significant moments throughout history—and it serves as an enduring testament to those who fearlessly carried out their calling during turbulent times.
