EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "At Prayer (circa 1950)" transports us to the Chapel of the First American Saint on Manhattan Island, USA. The image captures a diverse group of visitors from both near and far, seeking solace and spiritual connection in this sacred space dedicated to Mother Cabrini. The composition focuses on the architectural beauty of the chapel, with its intricate decorative elements adorning the altar. Soft candlelight illuminates the scene, casting a warm glow that adds an ethereal touch to the atmosphere. Lush plants frame the edges of the photograph, bringing nature's tranquility into this urban sanctuary. From behind, we observe a mix of male and female figures engaged in prayerful contemplation. Their backs turned towards us evoke a sense of reverence and privacy as they find solace within their own thoughts and intentions. This anonymity allows viewers to project themselves into this moment of devotion. Photographer George Pickow skillfully captures not only a specific time period but also universal themes such as faith, community, and spirituality. Through his lens, he invites us to witness this timeless act of prayer that transcends borders and backgrounds. This square-format print serves as a powerful reminder that amidst bustling city life in North America lies spaces for introspection where people can seek solace in their beliefs – places like this cherished chapel on Manhattan Island.
