EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment in Shaker history as members of the Lebanon Community in Lebanon Springs, New York make their final procession from Meeting in 1850. The men and women are depicted with palms upturned, symbolically reaching out to catch God's grace and blessing as they bid farewell to their sacred gathering.
The Shakers were a millenarian restorationist Christian sect known for their communal living, celibacy, pacifism, and ecstatic worship practices. This image beautifully conveys the solemnity and spirituality of their religious rituals.
The intricate details of the engraving highlight the devotion and faith of the Shakers as they participate in this symbolic parade. The composition is filled with emotion and reverence, making it a powerful representation of religious devotion in 19th century America.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion for the Shaker community. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and tradition that continues to inspire us today.
Overall, this print is not just a visual depiction but also an emotional journey into the world of the Shakers, offering us a glimpse into their unique beliefs and practices that have left an indelible mark on American religious history.
