The Outrages on Missionaries in China, Scenes in Foochow and Kucheng Districts
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that depicts the turbulent times faced by missionaries in 19th century China. Created by Charles J. Staniland and part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the hostility experienced by Presbyterian missionaries as they sought to establish themselves in unfamiliar territories. The image showcases various scenes from the Foochow and Kucheng districts, highlighting both the beauty of these places and the challenges faced by those who tried to spread their faith there. From Fushan Monastery to Temple of Amoy, each place of worship tells its own story amidst an atmosphere of tension. Intriguingly, we see native Chinese individuals involved in assisting the missionaries' work despite facing opposition from some members of society. The presence of Archdeacon Wolff and a native church suggests that not all encounters were hostile; indeed, some locals received them heartily. This lithograph also captures everyday life along China's eastern coast – bustling markets, Buddhist priests performing rituals, catechists engaging with natives – all against a backdrop of stunning coastal scenery. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and outrages, moments of good fellowship can be found. Overall, "The Outrages on Missionaries in China" provides us with an insightful visual narrative about Asia's past struggles for religious acceptance and cultural understanding.
