EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Southern Cross" an engraving created by the English School in the 19th century. The artwork, now 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. "The Southern Cross" engraving beautifully depicts a ship sailing under a starry night sky, with its sails adorned with Christian symbols. This powerful image symbolizes both missionary work and Christianity's global reach during that era. The missionaries aboard this vessel were driven by their unwavering faith to spread Christian values across distant lands. They embarked on perilous journeys, facing challenges and adversity as they sought to bring light and hope to those they encountered. Through this evocative artwork, we are reminded of the profound impact religion has had on shaping societies worldwide. It serves as a testament to the dedication and courage displayed by these early missionaries who ventured into unknown territories in pursuit of their beliefs. "The Southern Cross" engraving stands not only as a historical artifact but also as an enduring representation of religious devotion transcending borders and cultures. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection allows us to appreciate its artistic merit while reflecting upon the significance of faith in our shared human experience.
