EDITORS COMMENTS
The black and white lithograph captures a significant moment in history, depicting Rowland Hill preaching to the colliers of Kingswood, Bristol in 1772. This powerful image showcases the intersection of religion and industry during the eighteenth century in Britain. In this scene, Rowland Hill stands before a diverse audience of coal miners, their faces etched with weariness from their laborious work in the coal mines. The open-air setting emphasizes the humble nature of this gathering, as they gather outside amidst the industrial landscape. Hill's evangelical message resonates with these hardworking men, offering them solace and hope amidst their challenging lives. As an influential preacher and evangelist, his words transcend social class boundaries and provide spiritual guidance to those who need it most. The print not only highlights Hill's role as a religious figure but also sheds light on the harsh realities faced by workers in the coal mining industry at that time. It serves as a reminder of both faith's ability to bring people together across different backgrounds and its potential to inspire change within society. This image is a testament to British history, showcasing an important moment where religion intersected with working-class life during the Industrial Revolution.
