Magazine art of Mosiah 27 in the Book of Mormon: Alma carried his father Alma

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Alma Being Carried to His Father's House, an illustration accompanying Genet Bingham Dee's "A Strange Conversion", Stories We All Love, The Children's Friend 24, no. 10 (October 1925): 380–382, here 380. In the center of the image is a young man on a stretcher, his hair down about to his chin. He seems to wear a hat, and a blanket is thrown over his lower torso. This is Alma (the younger). Standing over him is a man with a long beard and a thick, flowing robe. His left hand cradles the side of his head, and his right arm is raised to the square (in shock? in oath?). This is Alma (the elder). Four men gather round the stretcher, one with his hands still on one end, as if carrying or pushing it (or bracing against it?); three kneel beside it. One of these kneel men leans over one of a leg of Alma (the younger). Two of the four men face away from the viewer, making their faces unseeable; the other two visibly have beards. These four mens are the sons of Mosiah (Ammon, Aaron, Omner, Himni), friends of Alma (the younger) in the narrative. There are a few other people in the scene: two children stand next to Alma (the elder) and peek toward Alma (the younger) with expressions of surprise. Three other adults are visible behind and to the left of Alma (the elder); one that definitely has a beard, a second that might, a third that definitely doesn't. The definitely-has-a-beard man has a cap; the other two seem to have shawls around their heads. In the middle-right background is a pair of people: one with a thick beard and a cap, the other with a headband around their hair (which goes down to about ear level) and no beard. A cityscape is visible in the background; the edges of buildings, vaulted windows, etc. (Perhaps the pair are an unrelated duo who just happen to be outside the Almas' home?). In the upper right corner of the image, the edge of a tree is visible. In the lower left corner of the image is the text "ALMA BEING CARRIED TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE". In the lower right corner of the image is a signature initial: "HW".
