EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An ultra-modern shepherd" by Achille Beltrame showcases the innovative approach of Rev Strickland, a pastor from Boston. Faced with a dwindling congregation at his old church, Rev Strickland took matters into his own hands and built a car chapel for himself. This unique mobile church allowed him to reach out to people in cities and villages, searching for listeners who were eager to hear his message. The image captures the bustling streets of America in 1924, as Rev Strickland drives through town in his automobile-turned-chapel. The crowd gathers around him, intrigued by this unconventional preacher and his modern means of spreading the word of God. A gramophone sits beside him, amplifying his voice so that even those further away can listen attentively. Beltrame's illustration beautifully portrays the blend of religion and technology during this era. The stone church in the background serves as a reminder of tradition while highlighting Rev Strickland's forward-thinking approach. This thought-provoking artwork not only reflects on religious practices but also explores themes such as transportation, architecture, and societal changes in early 20th century America. It is an intriguing glimpse into an era where innovation met faith on the streets of Boston.
