Very fine pair of Cabinet Photographs [4.25 x 6.5 inches each] by Levendorf, of Cincinnati, OH. We have not been able to trace other examples. Probably executed during their revival meetings there in 1886.
Jones was the most famous Evangelist to emerge from the Methodists of South and his slogan, "Quit Your Meanness" became a rallying call for a sort of rugged version of Wesley's "Pure Love" doctrine. He and Small traveled together and were as Prohibitionist as they came. "Sure, there is a place for booze," he said. "In Hell. That is its place."
Fine examples. The Small being somewhat darker than the Jones on the actual photo. Otherwise, identical mounts and would be very nice framed together.
