EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1887 showcases Joseph Smith, the esteemed American founder of the Mormon church. With a distinguished beard and an aura of wisdom, Smith's presence commands attention as he stands alongside Oliver Cowdery, another significant figure in the early days of Mormonism. The image depicts a pivotal moment in history when John the Baptist is said to have bestowed upon Smith and Cowdery the lower priesthood known as Aaronic within the Mormon faith. The artist expertly captures this sacred event with intricate details that transport us back to May 15,1829. As we gaze at this lithograph, we are reminded of Smith's profound influence on religious thought and his role as a leader during a transformative period in America's spiritual landscape. Smith's vision and teachings drew inspiration from both ancient scripture and contemporary revelations, blending elements from the New Testament with his own divine experiences. This print serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication towards establishing what would become one of America's most prominent religious movements. As we contemplate this historical artifact, it invites us to reflect on Joseph Smith's enduring legacy—a man who sought truth amidst adversity and left an indelible mark on American religious history.
