EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic portrait of Rev. George Whitefield, a prominent figure in 18th century England and one of the founders of Methodism. The image showcases Rev. Whitefield dressed in his distinctive gown and wig worn during his time in New England around 1750. The portrait, taken in 1937 by an unknown artist, is featured in Elisabeth McClellan's book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800". It offers a glimpse into the fashion and style prevalent during that era. Rev. George Whitefield stands with his arms raised, gesturing passionately as he preaches to his congregation. His attire reflects the formal clothing worn by clergymen at the time, emphasizing their status within society. The circular frame surrounding the portrait adds a touch of elegance to this historic illustration. It serves as a reminder of both Rev. Whitefield's religious influence and his impact on colonial America. This image not only documents an important historical figure but also provides insight into the intersection between religion, fashion, and culture during this period. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back to a time when men like Rev. George Whitefield played significant roles in shaping both British colonies' history and Christianity itself
