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.
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 spiritual devotion of this unique religious group.
The engraving adds to the timeless quality of the scene, transporting viewers back to the 19th century when this momentous event took place. The intricate details captured by the engraver bring to life the emotion and significance of this final procession.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of religious diversity that has shaped our world. The Shakers may have faded into obscurity over time, but images like these serve as a powerful reminder of their faith and dedication to their beliefs.
Let us pause for a moment to reflect on the legacy of those who came before us, leaving behind a lasting imprint on history through their unwavering commitment to spirituality and community.
