1870 Child Community Dance Hall Sect Shaker Shawl
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SHAKERS DANCING, 1870" takes us back to the late 19th century in America. The wood engraving beautifully captures a moment inside a Shaker community's dance hall. The image showcases the unique and mesmerizing dance style of this religious sect. In the center of the composition, we see a group of men and women gracefully moving together in perfect harmony. Their bodies are adorned with simple yet elegant attire, reflecting their commitment to simplicity and modesty. A young girl, perhaps an aspiring Shaker herself, stands among them wearing a shawl that symbolizes her belonging to this close-knit community. The atmosphere within the hall is filled with energy as these middle-aged individuals express their devotion through movement. It is evident that dancing holds great significance for these Shakers, serving not only as a form of worship but also as a way to strengthen communal bonds. The wood engraving technique used in this print adds depth and texture to each figure, enhancing our connection with these dancers from another era. As we gaze upon this historical artwork by The Granger Collection, we are transported into the heart of an American Shaker community where faith was expressed through music and dance.
