1821 Baker Bonnet Daily Drive Eddy Elderly Founder Ionic Length
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Mary Baker Eddy, the founding figure of Christian Science, is seen stepping out for her daily drive in her later years. Dressed in a long, flowing gown and a high-collared bonnet adorned with a delicate ribbon, Eddy exudes an aura of quiet determination and resilience. The image captures a moment of tranquility and reflection, as the elderly woman prepares to embark on another journey in her iconic vehicle, a horse-drawn carriage with an elegant ionic column as its distinguishing feature. Born on July 16, 1821, in Bowdoinham, Maine, Mary Baker Eddy spent her early life as a devout Christian, but her faith was shattered by a debilitating accident in 1866. After years of searching for spiritual healing, she claimed to have received divine revelations that led her to establish the Church of Christ, Scientist, and the publication of her seminal work, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," in 1875. Despite facing numerous challenges and controversies, Eddy's teachings gained a significant following, and by the turn of the 20th century, Christian Science had become a global movement with millions of adherents. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the private life of this remarkable woman, who continued to lead her church and inspire generations of believers well into her old age. The photograph is a poignant reminder of Eddy's enduring legacy and the profound impact she had on the history of religion and spirituality in America. It invites us to reflect on the power of faith, the importance of perseverance, and the indomitable spirit of a woman who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on the world.
