About this week’s presentation:
Central to the Millerite movement and early Adventism was the urgency of “warning the world of Christ’s second coming” hence using any available form of communication. Printing journals and books appeared cost-effective (reach lots of eyeballs with little personal effort), and so printing technology was an early and central skill. Early journals were text only, but as printing technology improved authors and editors employed illustrations where possible, €first engraving and then photographs as well as paintings Illustrations played several roles in communicating doctrine, normative dress and behavior, and the mood for devotional articles. Historic photos now tell us much about past values, customs, and gender roles--some amusing if not embarrassing. Political cartoons were popular 100 years ago focusing on themes of temperance, religious liberty, and even condemning higher Biblical criticism Paintings of the investigative judgement and the second coming were effective in striking fear and anxiety in many youth. As modern society reads less, images become even more important.
