Catalogue Note

This illustrated presentation of Biblical images, figures dressed in contemporary 1880 dress, relates to the Book of Revelation, and the "end of times." It is part of the tradition of Teaching Charts, used by ministers to instruct their flock, here depicting sin and redemption, outlining the path to perdition or salvation.
