EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures Bishop Samuel A. McCoskry, the first Bishop of Michigan in the Episcopal Church, between 1855 and 1865. The creator of this remarkable print remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this historical image. Bishop McCoskry's dignified presence is evident as he gazes into the distance with a sense of purpose and determination. His clerical attire reflects his role as a churchman, representing the Anglican tradition in America during the 19th century. However, behind this esteemed facade lies a tale shrouded in controversy. Allegations of moral misconduct emerged against Bishop McCoskry, forcing him to flee to Europe for sanctuary. This unexpected turn adds intrigue to his story and leaves us wondering about the truth behind these allegations. The photograph itself is a testament to Mathew B. Brady's skillful artistry as one of America's most renowned photographers during that era. Preserved within glass negatives from 1850-1870 at the Library of Congress, it serves as both a visual record and an artistic representation of religious figures in American history. As we delve into this still image captured over a century ago, we are reminded not only of Bishop McCoskry's significance within Christianity but also how even those held in high regard can be touched by scandalous circumstances.
