QUAKER MEETING, 1888 - A Glimpse into the Heart of American Quakerism
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the late 19th century, immersing us in a Friends yearly meeting held in New York. The wood engraving, skillfully crafted by George Errington in 1888, beautifully captures the essence of this significant event. In this scene, we witness a gathering of Quakers from all walks of life. Men and women dressed modestly in their traditional attire – men donning simple suits while women wear bonnets and dresses – come together for fellowship and worship. Their solemn expressions reflect their devotion to their faith. The atmosphere is one of tranquility as these North American Quakers engage in silent prayer and contemplation. This unique form of worship allows each individual to connect with the divine within themselves without any formal sermon or hierarchy. Beyond spiritual reflection, this annual meeting also provides an opportunity for socializing and sharing meals together. As depicted here, after hours spent deepening their spiritual bonds through silence, these dedicated individuals gather around tables laden with food to nourish both body and soul. Through this remarkable wood engraving from 1888, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the rich history and enduring values that define Quakerism. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst societal changes over centuries, certain traditions persist - like those upheld by these devoted men and women who continue to shape our understanding of community, equality
