EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from John Bunyan's renowned allegorical novel, "The Pilgrim's Progress". Entitled "Christian and Faithful pass through Vanity Fair" this c1910 glass lantern slide was produced by the Church Army Lantern Department. The department boasted an extensive collection of approximately 100,000 slides that were available for hire or taken on the road in special vans to be shown to groups of people for evangelical purposes. In this particular image, we witness Christian and Faithful navigating their way through the bustling marketplace known as Vanity Fair. Clad in suits of armor symbolizing their unwavering faith, these brave pilgrims stand tall amidst a sea of worldly temptations. The circular shape of the lantern slide adds depth to the composition, drawing our attention towards these steadfast men who remain resolute in their spiritual journey. The unknown creator skillfully captures the essence of Bunyan's allegory, highlighting themes such as religious warfare and indoctrination prevalent during that era. This print serves not only as a visual representation but also as a powerful tool employed by religious organizations like the Church Army to spread their message far and wide. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, it reminds us of our own battles against vanity and materialism in today's world. It prompts contemplation about our own spiritual journeys while paying homage to Bunyan's enduring literary masterpiece.
