    Vintage Portrait of a Notable American Clergyman

    $19.95

    William Sloane Coffin was a prominent figure in American history, known for his influence as a clergyman and social activist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1843, Coffin played a significant role in various progressive movements, advocating for issues like civil rights and anti-war efforts. His tenure as the pastor of the Riverside Church in New York City positioned him at the forefront of many social justice causes, making him a voice for the underrepresented and an outspoken critic of government policies.

    This photograph, likely taken between 1890 and 1920, captures Coffin in a moment of thoughtful reflection, facing right, and offering a glimpse into a time when religious leaders were often engaged in pivotal social debates. The work of Bain News Service, known for its commitment to documenting the key figures of its time, presents Coffin not just as a man of faith, but as an advocate deeply involved in the issues affecting society. His legacy as both a spiritual leader and an activist reflects the interconnectedness of faith and social advocacy, highlighting how individuals can influence change on a broader scale.
