I found this beautiful painting by Harry Anderson on Oakwood University's website. They have a lot of information pertaining to early Adventism in the American South, and I referred to their pages often when writing the first chapters of Precious Jewels. Thank you, Oakwood!
The man in the painting is obviously Edson White, owner and builder of the Morning Star Riverboat, on his mission to minister to the recently freed slaves. The lady is not identified, so I am free to imagine that maybe she is Talitha, straight out of the pages of Precious Jewels!
