EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, taken around 1908, captures the exterior of the Arch Street Friends' Meeting House located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America. The Meeting House, a significant landmark of Quaker history and heritage, is prominently displayed against a clear blue sky. The image, taken as a dry plate negative on glass, measures 8 x 10 inches and is part of the vast collection held at the Library of Congress. The Friends' Meeting House, established in 1682, is one of the oldest Quaker meeting houses in the country. The Quakers, also known as the Religious Society of Friends, are a Christian denomination known for their emphasis on the inner light and the priesthood of all believers. The Meeting House has served as a place of worship and community gathering for over three centuries, reflecting the rich history and traditions of Quakerism in America. The exterior of the Meeting House, with its simple yet elegant design, exudes a sense of tranquility and peace, fitting for a place of spiritual reflection and gathering. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages and quiet streets. The Meeting House, still standing today, continues to serve as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Quakerism and the role it has played in shaping American history and values.
