"Christian and Hopeful at the stile leading into By-Path Meadow", from "The Pilgrim's Progress", 1860 Creator: Unknown. "Christian and Hopeful at the stile leading into By-Path Meadow"
"Christian and Hopeful at the stile leading into By-Path Meadow", from "The Pilgrim's Progress", 1860. The personages of the book, as they appear in Mr. Watson's pictures, are clothed in the garb of the period at which Bunyan wrote; and the characteristics of each have been portrayed with singular point and effect...[Shown here is] the point where Christian, having long assumed his suit of armour, in company with Hopeful, pauses at the stile which leads to By-path Meadow, and so takes them out of the way, for a space, of the road which leads to the Celestial Gate....Of course, the pictorial character of the edition of "The Pilgrim's Progress" is intended as its chief claim to attention. But there have been great pains and care expended on the editorial department of that which is confessedly an English classic. The book is reproduced mainly, if not entirely, in the form in which it was published by Bunyan himself...there is every mark that the editing of the work has been a labour of love...'. Illustration from "The Pilgrim's Progress. A new Edition, with Memoir and Notes", by George Offor. Illustrated by J. D. Watson, (Routledge). Published in "Illustrated London News", 1860

Christian and Hopeful at the Stile leading into By-Path Meadow
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating image from an 1860 edition of "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan. In this photograph, we find the two main characters, Christian and Hopeful, standing before a stile that leads into By-Path Meadow. Dressed in the garb of the period, as depicted in this edition, their determined expressions convey the significance of their journey towards the Celestial Gate. The image is taken from "The Pilgrim's Progress. A New Edition, with Memoir and Notes" by George Offor, illustrated by J.D. Watson. The creators of this edition have meticulously recreated the original work, ensuring that the illustrations align with Bunyan's descriptions. The setting is vividly portrayed, with the stile standing as a clear demarcation between the path Christian and Hopeful have been following and the alluring, yet potentially dangerous, detour into By-Path Meadow. The illustrative character of this edition is undoubtedly its primary allure. However, the editorial department has also received great attention. The book has been reproduced faithfully, adhering to the original publication as closely as possible. The editing process was a labor of love, as evidenced by the care taken to preserve the essence of this English classic. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich narrative of "The Pilgrim's Progress," inviting us to join Christian and Hopeful on their spiritual journey.
