EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the controversial world of polygamy among the Mormons. The illustration, skillfully crafted by H. L. Stephens, depicts none other than Brigham Young himself at home. Published in Fanny Stenhouse's groundbreaking book "Expose of Polygamy in Utah: A Lady's Life Among the Mormons" in 1872, this image sheds light on an era filled with secrecy and intrigue. The scene showcases a moment from Stenhouse's personal experience as one of the wives of a Mormon Elder for over two decades. It offers viewers a rare opportunity to witness history unfold before their eyes. As we observe Brigham Young surrounded by his family, we are transported to a time when polygamy was practiced openly within this religious community. With its vintage charm and archival significance, this picture serves as both an educational tool and a window into America's past. It reminds us that even within our own borders, diverse beliefs and practices have shaped our nation throughout history. Ken Welsh has masterfully preserved this engraving for future generations to appreciate and learn from. As we examine this piece closely, let us reflect upon the complexities of human relationships and how they intersect with faith and tradition – themes that continue to resonate today despite being rooted in another time long ago.
