EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the Bishops house, school, and kitchen on Norfolk Island. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the book "Conquests of the Cross: A Record of Missionary Work throughout the World" edited by Edwin Hodder in approximately 1890. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of missionary life on this remote island. The scene depicts a tranquil setting where Christian missionaries dedicated their lives to spreading their faith. The Bishop's house stands tall and proud, symbolizing strength and stability within this religious community. Adjacent to it is a humble school building, emphasizing education as an integral part of their mission. Intriguingly, we catch a glimpse into the daily activities taking place inside the kitchen. This suggests that nourishment for both body and soul were provided by these devoted individuals who believed deeply in their Christian values. Norfolk Island itself holds significance as a haven for Christianity during this era. It served as a sanctuary where missionaries could freely practice their religion while sharing its teachings with others. This print not only provides insight into historical missionary work but also serves as a reminder of how religion has played an influential role in shaping societies worldwide. Through this enchanting image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and impact made by these early Christians on Norfolk Island.
