EDITORS COMMENTS
Some Clerical Types by John Kendal: The Embryo (1901) is an evocative photographic image capturing the essence of young clergy in training during the Edwardian era. Taken by renowned English photographer John Kendal, this print showcases a group of men in various stages of their clerical apprenticeship. The photograph features a diverse collection of clerical types, each displaying unique expressions and body language. Some men are deep in thought, their hands folded in contemplation, while others engage in animated conversations with their peers. A young man in the foreground, wearing an embryo collar, gazes intently at a dog, perhaps a loyal companion during his formative years in the church. The image transports us back to the early 1900s, an era marked by tradition and transformation. The men wear collars and cassocks, symbols of their dedication to the clergy, while their pockets brim with personal items, offering a glimpse into their daily lives. The setting, likely a church or seminary, adds to the authenticity of the scene. John Kendal's masterful composition and use of natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere, making Some Clerical Types by John Kendal: The Embryo an enduring testament to the human spirit and the journey of becoming a clergyman during the Edwardian period.
