EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon from the 1840s, titled "The London Mission: Loading the Gun at Exeter Hall," is a satirical commentary on the evangelical calls for British military intervention in Tahiti during the early Victorian era. The image, published in Punch magazine in 1844, mocks the evangelical fervor to protect established missions in the South Pacific island. The cartoon depicts a group of evangelical leaders, gathered at Exeter Hall in London, the hub of the British and Foreign Bible Society and other evangelical organizations, enthusiastically loading a gun. The caption reads, "Preparing for a Missionary Expedition to Tahiti," highlighting the irony of using military force to spread the gospel. The evangelicals were deeply concerned about the threat to their missions in Tahiti due to the French interest in the region. The French had already established a presence in Tahiti, and the British feared the potential loss of their influence and control over the island's Christian population. The cartoonist uses humor to critique the evangelical approach, suggesting that their methods were more akin to warfare than peaceful evangelism. The image also raises questions about the role of religion in British foreign policy and the potential for conflict between European powers in the colonies. The 1840s were a pivotal time in the history of British imperialism, and this cartoon provides a unique insight into the complex relationship between religion, politics, and foreign policy during this period. The London Mission: Loading the Gun at Exeter Hall remains a fascinating and thought-provoking commentary on the intersection of these themes in the 19th century.
