EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print depicts the final moments of Reverend John Wesley, the influential founder of the Methodist movement in England. The scene takes place at his home in City Road, London, on March 2, 1811. Wesley, who is lying on his deathbed, is surrounded by a devoted group of friends, family, and colleagues. His wife, Mrs. Charles Wesley, sits at his bedside, holding his hand. Other notable figures in the room include Rev. J. Bradford, Rev. P. Dickinson, and Rev. T. Rankin, who were among Wesley's closest companions. The medical assistant, Miss Sarah Wesley, is seen attending to Wesley's needs, while Dr. Whitehead, who is standing at the foot of the bed, is preparing to administer a final dose of medicine. Reverend J. Rogers and Rev. J. Creighton are shown praying, while Rev. J. Broadbent and Rev. A. Mather are deep in conversation. The young Master Rogers, who is peering over the crowd, may represent the next generation of Methodist leaders. The print also includes several other individuals, including Rev. T. Broadbent, Rev. J. Edmonson, J. Horton, Miss Ritchie, and R.C. Brackenbury. Their presence underscores the widespread impact of Wesley's ministry and the deep sense of loss felt by his community. The print, which dates from around 1841, provides a moving testament to the life and legacy of John Wesley, whose influence on the religious and social landscape of England remains profound to this day.
