Juliann jane tillman biography
Church
Juliann Jane Tillman was an American preacher in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She is known for her lithograph portrait printed in 1844 in Philadelphia, which is held in the Library of Congress,[1] and is often referenced by historians discussing 19th-century women preachers.[2]
Portrait
The portrait is labeled "Mrs.
Juliann Jane Tillman, Preacher of the A.M.E. Church",[3] and was engraved by Alfred Hoffy and printed by Peter S. Duval in Philadelphia.[4] In the portrait, Tillman looks directly at the viewer and gestures, exhorting the viewer "to prepare for the second coming of Christ as prophesized [sic] in the Book of Revelation."[5][6] The print itself was reproduced many times to help the AME Church reach a wider congregation,[2][6] and is indicative of Tillman's popularity.[2]
