Unbound. Condition: Very Good. Sepia-toned, gelatin silver boudoir photograph. Image approximately 7.5" x 4.5". on a slightly larger card mount. Light fading at the upper extremities, very good or better. Contemporary ink caption on verso noting "Headquarters of the Beekmanites, 6 miles from Rockford, Ill." with a few later and erasable pencil notes. The Beekmanites were, and still are to some degree, an obscure religious cult. In the 1880s, Dorinda Beekman declared herself Jesus and began her own religion on Weldon Farms in Winnebago, Illinois outside of Rockford, and declared the farm as Heaven. When Beekman suddenly died and didn't return from the dead three days later, one of her disciples, a red-headed man named George Jacob Schweinfurth, declared that her spirit had taken over his body, and he continued the religion, and where he lived in luxury, enjoying the company of the female "Angels" who worshipped him and who soon began to give birth to red-headed children, causing the patriarch to be driven from the property and move to Chicago, where he took up Christian Science. His story attracted some attention, including a visit by and published article in *The New York Times.* A nice artifact of an obscure byway in American home-cooked religions.
