EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a bygone era with this print of Motor Chapel between c1910 and c1915. Captured by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain, founder of the esteemed news agency Bain News Service, this black-and-white image is a testament to the innovative spirit of early 20th-century America. As you gaze upon the scene before you, notice how seamlessly motorized transportation has merged with traditional faith practices. A portable altar stands proudly on wheels, ready to be transported from one location to another - an ingenious solution for mobile worship in a rapidly changing world. The Motor Chapel's unique design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, reflecting the era's fascination with modernity and progress. The chapel itself appears as a sturdy structure, its simple yet elegant lines evoking feelings of serenity and contemplation. This remarkable photograph not only showcases Bain News Service's commitment to documenting America's rapid transformation but also highlights the adaptability of faith in response to societal shifts. As we gaze upon this vintage image, we are reminded that even amidst great change, tradition can find innovative ways to thrive.
