EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Huts and Natives of Formosa" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous people in Asia. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a scene from Edwin Hodder's book "Conquests of the Cross" which documents missionary work around the world. In this image, we see a group of natives living in traditional huts on the island of Formosa (now known as Taiwan). The composition beautifully captures their simple yet harmonious way of life. The thatched-roof huts blend seamlessly with nature, surrounded by lush vegetation and towering mountains in the background. The presence of Christian missionaries is evident through their interaction with these native inhabitants. This engraving serves as a testament to both cultural exchange and religious exploration during this era. It symbolizes how Christianity spread its roots across different continents and impacted local communities. Through this artwork, we are invited to reflect upon themes such as religion, colonialism, and cross-cultural encounters. It reminds us that history is not just about grand events but also encompasses everyday lives shaped by diverse beliefs and traditions. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate today—a visual window into an intriguing period where East met West on distant shores.
