EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases Bishop Jackson Kemper, a prominent figure in American religious history. Taken between 1855 and 1865 by an unknown photographer, the image captures the essence of this influential man who played significant roles as both the first missionary bishop of the US Episcopal Church and the first bishop of the Diocese of Wisconsin. Bishop Kemper's stern yet compassionate expression reflects his dedication to Christianity and his commitment to serving others. As a clergyman in the Anglican tradition, he embodied principles that resonated with people across America during the 19th century. The photograph is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed at The Library of Congress. Its inclusion in this collection speaks volumes about its historical significance and cultural value. Preserved on glass negatives from 1850 to 1870, it offers us a glimpse into an era when religion played a central role in shaping society. In this still image, we see not only a man but also an embodiment of faith, resilience, and leadership. Bishop Kemper's presence radiates strength as he stands tall against a backdrop that remains undisclosed but undoubtedly represents an important location within his life's work. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait print by Unknown from Heritage Images, let us reflect on Bishop Jackson Kemper's enduring legacy as one who paved the way for future generations within both American Episcopalianism and Christian missions worldwide.
