An 1880
Baxter process colour plate illustrating
Revelation 22:17 from the
Bible, in which the
Holy Spirit and the Bride of Christ give access to the
Water of Life to those who have survived the
cataclysmic events described in the book. The text reads, "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." The Bride is usually taken to mean the
Christian Church, but other interpretations exist.Image:
