EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically to Ocean Grove, New Jersey. The image showcases an enchanting scene known as the "Avenue of Tents" a part of Tent City, a permanent Christian camp community nestled along the Atlantic Ocean's Jersey Shore. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown. The photograph is featured in Prof. Geo. R. Cromwell's book titled "A Tour Through the New World America". Published by C. N. Greig & Co. , London in approximately 1897, this historical snapshot offers a glimpse into life during that era. Intriguingly lined with trees on both sides, this tree-lined lane presents an unusual sight: rows upon rows of tents neatly arranged along the road. These tents served as temporary housing for individuals seeking solace and spiritual connection within this religious community. As we observe the picture closely, hammocks can be seen suspended between some trees, providing shaded spots for relaxation amidst nature's beauty. The abundance of plants adds vibrancy to the landscape while emphasizing its serene atmosphere. Located in Neptune Township within Monmouth County, Ocean Grove was renowned for its Christian values and strong sense of community throughout history. This image captures not only a physical location but also represents an important chapter in American religious history. With its timeless appeal and unique composition, this print serves as a visual portal transporting us back to a simpler time when faith and nature intertwined harmoniously on America's shores.
