"Christian Knocking at the Gate", 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...Christian...appears, knocking at the gate, in that earlier part of his pilgrimage whence the interest begins to grow so strong...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...the skill of the printer, paper-inker, binder, and decorator has been lavishly brought into play to render the accessories of the volume as beautiful as its text is valuable and interesting'. 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 Knocking at the Gate,
EDITORS COMMENTS
from John Bunyan's timeless classic, "The Pilgrim's Progress," is a captivating image that encapsulates the essence of this spiritual journey. The photograph, created in 1860, showcases Christian, one of the book's main characters, as he stands before a gate, knocking persistently. This scene represents an earlier part of Christian's pilgrimage, where the interest in his journey begins to grow. The image is taken from an edition of "The Pilgrim's Progress," published by George Offor, which includes a memoir and notes. The personages in the book are dressed in the clothing of Bunyan's time, and the characteristics of each character have been portrayed with remarkable precision. Christian's determined expression and the intricate details of the gate add to the image's captivating allure. This edition of "The Pilgrim's Progress" is renowned for its pictorial qualities, which serve as its primary attraction. However, great care and effort have been invested in the editorial department of this English classic. The book has been reproduced mainly, if not entirely, in its original form as published by Bunyan. The editing of the work has been a labor of love, with every mark indicating the skill and dedication of the printer, paper-inker, binder, and decorator. Their combined efforts have rendered the accessories of the volume as beautiful as its text is valuable and interesting. In summary, "Christian Knocking at the Gate" is a striking visual representation of a pivotal moment in "The Pilgrim's Progress." The image's intricacy and attention to detail reflect the care and dedication given to the creation of this classic work, making it a cherished piece of literary and artistic history.
