Obstinate goes home, c1910 - A Powerful Allegory of Faith and Conviction
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a scene from John Bunyan's renowned literary work, "The Pilgrim's Progress". Created by an unknown artist in the early 20th century, this glass lantern slide was produced by the Church Army Lantern Department for evangelical purposes. The Church Army had an extensive collection of around 100,000 slides like this one which were available for hire and taken on special vans to be shown to groups across the country. In this particular image, we witness Obstinate, one of the characters in Bunyan's allegorical tale. Obstinate is depicted as a resolute man with unwavering determination etched upon his face. This circular-shaped lantern slide beautifully encapsulates the essence of obstinacy and its role within Christian faith. Bunyan's masterpiece explores themes of spirituality and religious devotion through vivid storytelling. It serves as both a religious tract and a profound piece of literature that has captivated readers for centuries. As we gaze at this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of the power that art possesses in conveying complex concepts such as indoctrination and evangelism. The attention to detail in capturing Obstinate's expression reflects not only the skillful craftsmanship but also highlights how religion can shape individuals' lives. This remarkable artifact from our past invites us to reflect on our own spiritual journeys while appreciating the historical significance it holds within Christian culture.
