EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SALVATION ARMY SIDESHOW" takes us back to the year 1894, offering a glimpse into a unique performance at a Salvation Army meeting in Lake Bluff, Illinois. The wood engraving showcases three soldiers from different backgrounds: a Native American, a dwarf, and a Turk. The image captures the essence of diversity and inclusivity as these individuals come together to entertain the audience with their musical talents. A soldier dressed in traditional Native American attire plays the violin passionately while another soldier holds up his tambourine, adding rhythm to the performance. Meanwhile, an individual representing Turkish culture confidently blows on his trumpet. This sideshow is not only remarkable for its display of talent but also for its reflection of turn-of-the-century America's fascination with novelty acts and human curiosities. It serves as a reminder that even within organizations like the Salvation Army, people from all walks of life can find common ground through music and entertainment. The Granger Collection has beautifully preserved this historical moment through their meticulous reproduction of this wood engraving. As we gaze upon this image today, it sparks curiosity about how society has evolved since then while reminding us that unity amidst diversity has always been an essential aspect of our shared humanity.
