EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Murchison Cataract" is a visual testament to the remarkable missionary work that took place in Central Africa during the 19th century. The image showcases the awe-inspiring power of nature as it depicts a majestic waterfall cascading down rocky cliffs. The print, part of a private collection, was originally featured in the book "Conquests of the Cross: A Record of Missionary Work throughout the World". Edited by Edwin Hodder and published around 1890, this publication aimed to document and celebrate Christian missions across various continents. In this particular scene, we witness missionaries venturing into uncharted territories with unwavering faith and determination. Their mission? To spread Christianity among African communities residing near Murchison Cataract. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of their commitment to sharing their religious beliefs while embracing local cultures.

It evokes feelings of admiration for those who dedicated themselves to bridging cultural divides through Christian values. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical masterpiece from Fine Art Finder's collection.
