EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dr Syntax Preaching" takes us back to the early 19th century in Britain, offering a glimpse into religious life during that time. Created by the talented artist Rowlandson and featured in the book "The Tour of Dr Syntax in Search of the Picturesque" this aquatint captures an important moment within a Protestant church. The image showcases a grand pulpit with a commanding sounding board above it, symbolizing authority and wisdom. The pews are divided, reflecting the social hierarchy prevalent at that time. The moneyed classes occupy comfortable seating arrangements inside their designated pews, while a servant is seen sitting outside one of these exclusive spaces. A gallery can be observed towards the right side of the image, providing additional seating for those who wish to witness Dr Syntax's sermon from an elevated position. However, at the back stands a group representing the poor class - standing as they listen attentively to his words. This print not only offers insight into religious practices but also provides commentary on societal divisions based on wealth and status. It serves as a reminder of England's rich history and its complex relationship with religion during this period. With its intricate details and historical significance, this aquatint transports us back in time to experience firsthand how faith was practiced and perceived in 1813 London.
