This black and white wood engraving, created around 1870, captures the essence of George Whitefield preaching in the open air during the mid-18th century. The image showcases a remarkable moment in history when Whitefield, an English evangelist and one of the founders of Methodism, passionately spreads his message to a crowd gathered around him. In this portrait-like depiction, we see Whitefield standing tall as an orator, exuding confidence and conviction. His charismatic presence is evident as he captivates his audience with fervent gestures and powerful words. The artist skillfully portrays the energy that emanates from both Whitefield and those who listen intently to his sermon. The scene unfolds in a countryside location, emphasizing the simplicity and accessibility of Whitefield's approach to spreading Christianity. As he preaches outdoors, surrounded by nature's beauty, it becomes clear why this method resonated so strongly with people at that time.
