EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Early Chapel, Mission-house, and School, Mbau" takes us back to 19th century Fiji, where Christian missionaries embarked on a journey of faith and cultural exchange. The image showcases the humble beginnings of Christianity in this remote island nation. The focal point is the early chapel, standing tall amidst lush greenery. Its simple yet elegant design reflects the harmonious blend of European architecture with local craftsmanship. Adjacent to it stands the mission-house, serving as a sanctuary for those devoted to spreading Christian values and teachings. In front of these structures lies a school - a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment brought by the missionaries. It represents their commitment not only to spiritual guidance but also education for all members of society. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and hope as we witness the dawn of Christianity in Mbau. The presence of missionaries signifies their unwavering dedication towards building bridges between cultures and fostering understanding among diverse communities. This engraving was originally featured in "Conquests of the Cross" edited by Edwin Hodder in 1890. It serves as an important historical record documenting missionary work around the world during that era. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded that religion has played an integral role in shaping societies throughout history – promoting compassion, unity, and shared values across borders.
