EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tenth Commandment (Harpers Weekly, Vol. XIV), 1870" transports us back to the heart of 19th century America. Created by an unknown artist, this wood engraving showcases a profound moment of devotion and spirituality. In this scene, we witness a group of women gathered in a country church service, their heads bowed in prayer. The image is framed by the delicate beauty of convolvulus arvensis, commonly known as bindweed or morning glory, which adds a touch of nature's splendor to the religious setting. The composition exudes tranquility as one woman kneels on the ground with her prayer book open before her. Her posture reflects deep reverence and faith while others around her join in silent contemplation. This portrayal captures both the individual's personal connection with God and the collective strength found within communal worship. Published by Harper Brothers Publishers in Harpers Weekly magazine, this artwork exemplifies Winslow Homer's talent for capturing poignant moments from everyday life. It now resides at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met) where it serves as a testament to America's rich religious heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our past, we are reminded that religion has long played an integral role in shaping American society. Through its timeless depiction of devotion and prayer amidst nature's beauty, this photograph invites us to reflect on our own spiritual journeys and find solace within our beliefs.
