EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SALVATION ARMY, 1894" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The scene captures a prayer service of the Salvation Army in the slum district of New York City during the late 19th century. As we gaze upon this American illustration, we are transported to an era where poverty plagued many lives. In this powerful image, men and women can be seen seated on chairs, their heads bowed down in deep devotion as they engage in prayer. Their faces reflect both hope and desperation as they seek solace from their challenging circumstances. The men wear hats while some women don bonnets, highlighting the fashion trends of that time. The humanitarian efforts of the Salvation Army shine through as they preach messages of salvation amidst these dire conditions. This gathering serves as a reminder that even in times of great hardship, faith can provide strength and comfort. Located in Manhattan's North district, this prayer service symbolizes resilience and unity within a community grappling with poverty. It captures a turn-of-the-century moment when individuals came together to find solace and support one another despite their struggles. This print by Granger Art on Demand is not just an artistic representation but also a historical document that sheds light on the challenges faced by marginalized communities at that time.
