1821 Baker Chestnut Eddy Elderly Founder Length Pale Richards
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, in her later years at her beloved Chestnut Hill home. Dated between 1821 and 1910, the image shows Eddy, then an elderly woman, dressed in a pale, full-length dress, sitting in a chair with a serene expression on her face. Her hands are folded in her lap, and her eyes seem to gaze off into the distance, perhaps lost in thought or contemplation. Born in Bowdoinham, Maine, in 1821, Eddy's life was marked by numerous hardships and challenges. She was orphaned at a young age and later suffered from a debilitating accident that left her bedridden for several years. It was during this time that she began to study the Bible and other spiritual texts, which led her to develop her unique interpretation of Christianity and the founding of the Christian Science movement in 1879. Despite facing criticism and opposition from the religious establishment, Eddy's teachings gained a devoted following, and by the turn of the century, Christian Science had become a global phenomenon. Her home in Chestnut Hill, located in Boston, Massachusetts, became a sanctuary for her and her followers, and it was here that she wrote her seminal work, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private life of a woman who defied convention and changed the course of religious history. Eddy's legacy continues to inspire and challenge us today, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of her enduring impact on the world.
