A nineteenth-century lithograph depicting John Wesley preaching at the City Road Chapel in London, addressing the 446 preachers in his connection. The lithograph was produced in the studio of William S. Pendleton (1795-1879) in Boston. Many of the individuals featured in the print are clearly identifiable by their printed engravings from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. One can quickly identify the familiar faces of Charles Wesley (1707-1788), John William Fletcher (1729-1785), Joseph Benson (1749-1821), and others.
