EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "William Booth v. Moody & Sankey," published in November 1883, offers a glimpse into the intense religious rivalry between two prominent figures of the 1880s: William Booth, the charismatic founder of the Salvation Army, and the popular American evangelists Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey. The image, created by an unknown artist and published by Bryan, Entr'acte, captures a pensive Booth, leaning against a wall with a quizzical expression, as he observes Moody and Sankey delivering a sermon to a large, enthusiastic crowd. Booth's furrowed brow and clenched fist suggest his growing concern over the competition. The caption, spoken by Booth, reveals his apprehension: "How can I do a paying business with all this opposition?" The Victorian era, with its emphasis on morality and religious fervor, was a time when religious movements flourished. Both the Salvation Army and Moody and Sankey's evangelistic campaigns drew massive followings, captivating the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. This cartoon serves as a testament to the intense competition and the passion that drove these religious leaders to spread their messages, often at the expense of one another. The intriguing interplay of power, popularity, and religious conviction in this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex religious landscape of the 1880s. The cartoon also underscores the human element of these historical figures, revealing their struggles and challenges as they sought to make a difference in the world through their respective faiths.
