EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Nukualofa" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of Christian missionaries in Tonga. The print showcases an illustration from the renowned book "Conquests of the Cross: A Record of Missionary Work throughout the World" edited by Edwin Hodder and published around 1890. The image transports us to Nukualofa, where we witness these devoted missionaries spreading their faith amidst a backdrop of lush tropical scenery. Their unwavering commitment to Christianity is evident as they engage with local communities, sharing their religious teachings and values. The engraving captures not only the physical presence of these missionaries but also their spiritual impact on Nukualofa's inhabitants. It serves as a testament to their dedication and perseverance in bringing Christianity to distant lands. As we delve deeper into this historical artwork, it prompts contemplation about religion's role in shaping societies across time and space. It invites us to reflect on how Christian values have influenced cultures worldwide, including those found within Nukualofa. Preserved within private collections for years, this remarkable print now resurfaces thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images. Its revival allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and its significance as a visual record of missionary work during that era.
