EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases Joseph Wolff, a remarkable figure in the world of missionary work during the 19th century. The portrait, created by Albert Newsam in 1835 and now housed at the Free Library of Philadelphia, offers a glimpse into the life and character of this Jewish Christian missionary. Joseph Wolff (1795-1862) was renowned for his extensive travels and expeditions, which he documented in various journals including his notable work "Travels and Adventures of Joseph Wolff". This lithograph captures him in a head-and-shoulders pose, radiating an air of determination and purpose. The intricate details captured by Lehman & Duval's skillful engraving highlight not only Wolff's physical appearance but also his dedication to spreading Christianity across different lands. His signature adorns the print, serving as a testament to his commitment to his mission. Wolff's story is one that transcends religious boundaries. As a Jewish man who embraced Christianity, he defied societal norms and embarked on numerous journeys to share his faith with people from diverse cultures. This portrait immortalizes him as an emblematic figure within both Christian and Jewish communities. As we gaze upon this historic image today, we are reminded of Joseph Wolff's unwavering spirit as he traversed continents to fulfill what he believed was God's calling.
