The Pilgrims Crowned, c1910 - A Captivating Allegory of Faith and Redemption
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "The Pilgrims crowned" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the world of religious evangelism. Created by an unknown artist, this scene is inspired by John Bunyan's renowned literary work, "The Pilgrim's Progress". The glass lantern slide was produced by the Church Army Lantern Department, which aimed to spread Christian teachings through visual storytelling. In this mesmerizing image, we witness a momentous event in heaven as pilgrims are crowned for their unwavering faith and perseverance on their spiritual journey. The circular shape symbolizes eternity while angelic figures with outstretched wings surround the scene. Amidst lush palm trees and fronds that represent nature's beauty and God's creation, men are depicted playing musical instruments such as harps and lyres. This allegorical representation serves as a powerful tool for indoctrination and evangelism during that time period. The Church Army Lantern Department would hire out these slides or take them around in special vans to share with groups of people across the country. "The Pilgrims Crowned" not only showcases artistic excellence but also reflects the deep-rooted influence of religion in society during the 1910s. It reminds us of our shared human quest for spirituality and redemption while highlighting literature's ability to inspire faith and provide solace amidst life's challenges.
