EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Berlin, Germany in 1886. The scene depicts a Sunday sermon taking place on a barge floating peacefully on the Spree River at Wasserthorbecken. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this momentous occasion. As we gaze upon the image, we are transported to an era where poverty was prevalent and working-class men and women sought solace in their faith. Surrounding the barge, we see a diverse audience eagerly listening to the preacher's words of wisdom. Their faces reflect both hope and weariness, as they find respite from their laborious lives. The preacher stands tall at the front of the barge, delivering his sermon with passion and conviction. His presence commands attention from all those present, offering guidance and spiritual nourishment to his congregation. In this snapshot of history, we witness not only a religious gathering but also a glimpse into the social fabric of Berlin during that time period. The juxtaposition between industrial factories lining the riverbanks and this peaceful sanctuary on water highlights how spirituality played an integral role in providing comfort amidst challenging circumstances. Through this remarkable wood engraving by an anonymous German artist, we are reminded of our shared humanity across different eras - our collective yearning for inspiration and connection even in times marked by struggle.
