EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the African Exhibit at the Missionary Exhibition held in St James's Hall, Manchester from 6 to 16 February 1907. The image, taken by an English photographer of the 20th century, showcases a postcard from the early 20th century that depicts this significant event. The photograph provides a glimpse into history, revealing elements of Christianity, religion, church architecture, and art. It portrays a scene where colonial attitudes towards Africa are evident through the display of spears and weapons alongside Christian conversion efforts. The image sheds light on how Western societies perceived Africans during this time period. The exhibit highlights both Christian values and religious practices within African communities. It also features a stone church monument as a symbol of architectural beauty and public admiration for religious structures. This snapshot invites viewers to reflect on historical perspectives surrounding Africa's relationship with Christianity and colonization. It serves as a reminder of past attitudes towards different cultures while showcasing the works of art created during that era. Overall, this print offers valuable insights into early twentieth-century missionary exhibitions and their impact on society's perception of Africa.
