EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled 'History of the Missions: General History of the Missions from the Thirteenth Century to the Present Day,' is an intriguing glimpse into the rich and complex history of missionary activities around the world. The image, created by Mathieu-Richard-Auguste Henrion, Baron of Henrion (1805-1862), depicts Canh, Prince of Cochinchina, a disciple of Bishop Pigneau de Behaine. Canh, a prominent figure in the annals of missionary history, was a devoted follower of the French bishop who sought to spread Christianity in Vietnam in the late 18th century. Tragically, Canh died in 1801, but his legacy lived on, inspiring countless others to follow in his footsteps. The etching itself is an original work from France, produced in 1847, and later translated and published in Barcelona, Spain, in the Catalonia region. The Spanish translation was published in the prestigious Barcelona University Library. The image is a testament to the global reach of missionary activities throughout history, with figures from various periods and regions depicted. From the early days of the missions in Europe, with figures such as Queen Sancha of Castile and King Alfonso X, to the more modern era, the etching showcases the regal and royal figures who have played a role in the spread of Christianity. The intricate detail and skillful use of etching techniques make this print a stunning addition to any collection of historical artwork or religious art. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a tool for scholarly research, this etching is sure to captivate and inspire all who view it.
