EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print from 1842, titled "A chart of the world exhibiting the prevailing religion and population of the present empires" offers a fascinating glimpse into the religious landscape of that time. The map showcases different regions coloured according to their dominant faiths: Protestant, Roman Catholic, Greek Church, Mahometanism (Islam), and Paganism. Accompanying illustrations depict key figures representing each religion – Protestant, Mahomet (Muhammad), Pagan, Roman Catholic, and Jew. In addition to religious demographics, this comprehensive chart includes size and population charts for each continent. It also highlights Christian missionary stations across the globe as well as Christianity's progress from its inception to contemporary times. Published by Frederick Sumner in New York City during the 19th century, this print provides valuable historical insights into global religious distribution at that period. It serves as a visual representation of how various faiths were spread across different parts of the world. The image is part of the collection held by the New York Public Library in America. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only its cartographic significance but also its artistic value. This piece combines elements of mapmaking with intricate illustrations and informative charts. Whether studied for educational purposes or admired for its aesthetic appeal, this print offers a unique window into our past understanding of religion and population on a global scale.
