CHURCH COLLECTION, 1872 - A Glimpse into the Pious Generosity of American Congregations
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1872 takes us back in time to witness a significant moment during Sunday service - the passing of the collection plate in an American church. The scene unfolds within the serene interior of a grand church, where men and women dressed in their finest attire gather together to worship. The image showcases a diverse congregation, with men donning suits complete with bow ties and vests while women elegantly adorn themselves with fashionable hats. An usher stands at attention, holding out the collection plate as members of the congregation contribute their offerings. This act symbolizes not only financial support but also demonstrates their commitment to Christianity and its teachings. Capturing late 19th-century America's dedication to faith and community, this wood engraving offers a glimpse into an era when tithing was an integral part of religious practice. It serves as a reminder that generosity knows no bounds when it comes to supporting one's beliefs. As we observe this historical print by The Granger Collection, we are transported back in time to witness this timeless tradition that continues today – individuals coming together selflessly for the betterment of their religious institutions and communities.
