This 1823 lithograph by James W. Steele shows Elias Hicks, a Quaker minister born on Long Island in 1748. Hicks traveled widely as a preacher, opposed slavery, and stressed the "inner light" of personal faith over fixed doctrine, views that helped split the Society of Friends in 1827. Lithography was still a fairly new printing method in the United States in the 1820s, and portraits like this one let readers far from Long Island see the face of a religious leader they might never meet.
