EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "View of Mandalay" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of Christian missionaries in Myanmar. The image showcases the bustling cityscape of Mandalay, with its ornate temples and vibrant streets. It is evident that this artwork was created with great attention to detail, as every architectural element is meticulously depicted. The engraving was originally featured in a book called "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 missionary efforts worldwide. The inclusion of this view from Mandalay highlights Christianity's spread into distant lands during that era. This print not only serves as a historical record but also symbolizes the impact religion has had on societies across different continents. It invites contemplation about how faith can transcend borders and shape cultural landscapes. As we admire this piece, it is important to recognize its significance beyond aesthetics. It reminds us of the dedication and perseverance shown by countless missionaries who sought to share their beliefs with others. This engraving encapsulates both religious devotion and artistic skill, making it an intriguing addition to any collection or exhibition focused on Christian history or global missionary work.
