Titanic Passenger: Rev. John Harper - His last Sermon:

John Harper, a Baptist minister, was traveling from London to Chicago with his daughter, Nina Harper, and Miss Jessie Leitch. Rev. Harper was on his way to Chicago to begin a series of revival meetings at Moody Church, located at West Chicago and La Salle Avenue. His successful ministry during November, December, and January of 1911/12 led to his being invited back for a second series of meetings.

On the evening of April 14th, Rev. Harper and Miss Leitch stood on the deck of the Titanic, admiring the sunset. “It will be beautiful in the morning,” Rev. Harper remarked before retiring for the night. After the collision, Harper quickly awakened his daughter, wrapped her in a blanket, and carried her up to A Deck. There, he kissed her goodbye and handed her to a crewman, who placed her into Lifeboat 11 along with Miss Leitch. Rev. Harper, however, chose to remain on the ship. A well-known photograph of the second-class promenade shows a young girl holding her father’s hand; many believe this image captures young Nina Harper with her father. As the Titanic sank on the night of April 14th, 1912, 1,528 people found themselves in the frigid waters of the Atlantic. Among them was John Harper. After ensuring his daughter’s safety on a lifeboat, he swam desperately from person to person, sharing the message of Jesus Christ before succumbing to hypothermia. At one point, Harper swam to a young man clinging to debris and asked him, “Are you saved?” The young man, in shock, replied that he was not. Harper tried to lead him to Christ, but the man initially refused. In an act of profound selflessness, Harper removed his own life jacket, threw it to the man, and said, “Here, you need this more than I do,” before swimming away to help others. Moments later, Harper returned to the young man and succeeded in leading him to salvation. Of the 1,528 people in the water that night, only six were rescued by the lifeboats, one of whom was this young man. Four years later, at a survivors’ meeting, he tearfully recounted how John Harper had led him to Christ. Rev. Harper tried to continue helping others but grew too weak in the intense cold. His final words before slipping beneath the icy waters were, “Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.” While Hollywood may not remember this man, his legacy as a servant of God endures. While others fought to secure a place on the lifeboats, John Harper gave his life so that others might be saved. He understood the urgency of living a life devoted to Christ. Me personally, it was sobering looking over his letters and personal items of a man that took his last breath in life giving people hope in the darkness of night knowing they would die. He remained faithful until death. What a story.

#RPGCovers Week Eleven Agon John Harper (2020)

I didn’t mention this earlier when I listed Blades in the Dark, but I honestly hadn’t realized that Harper had done all of the art and graphic design for that. I’m actually stunned now that I know he did the amazing work on this volume too. I love how iconic this cover is. And again part of that comes from the super smart design of the logo. The font here is thinner, echoing the lines of curl work on the helmet image above. It blazes out– it smartly has the brightest point of the orange there at the top of the G & O, making it seem like a centerpoint of the fire happening behind the black. 

The whole image looks like a stencil against a fire– maybe a campfire in the night, which would explain the greens/teal to the left hand side. It’s not exactly chiaroscuro (a word I had to look up), but it's something close to that. The shape of the helmet emerges from the figurative design lines. They criss-cross in different directions. On the right, the color dominates over the black, on the left it is more inverted with dominant black– but it is not symmetrical. Though the shape of the helmet as a whole feels even, it is unbalanced in several ways. 

The colors on the top two thirds create the illusion of lighting. I’ve been painting a look of miniatures recently, using zenithal techniques to work more with hue and shadow. It looks effortless here. 

And I don’t know why, but the fact that the crest of the helm seems to bleed off the top of the cover feels dynamite. That's one of my favorites. And that’s even before we get inside and look at Harper’s absolutely amazing images for each of the islands. I could spend a week just talking about those. I enjoyed Agon when I ran it and every time I look at the book again, it is the imagery and cover that create a burning desire in me to play it again.
