EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of the Universal Open-Air Rescue Mission for the Fallen, dated back to 1928. The mission was established with a noble purpose - to cater to the spiritual needs of individuals who did not frequent any place of worship. Led by the renowned Blind Evangelist, Smith, this rescue mission aimed to persuade people towards attending some form of religious gathering and ultimately reforming their lives from vices such as gambling and drunkenness. The poster itself is a testament to the dedication and passion behind this movement. Its vibrant colors and bold typography grab attention while conveying a powerful message of hope and redemption. The imagery depicts an open-air gathering where people from all walks of life come together in search of solace and guidance. Preserved at Sheffield Local Studies Library under reference MP 4557 S, this original artifact serves as a window into an era when religious missions played a vital role in society's moral fabric. It reminds us that even amidst bustling city streets, there were those committed to uplifting souls through faith-based initiatives
