EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Thames Church Mission in 19th century London. The engraving, part of a page from the Girls Own Paper published in 1883, showcases a series of illustrations that vividly depict various aspects of this important mission. In this image, we see men and women dedicated to their missionary work along the River Thames. A missionary is shown passionately spreading his message to eager listeners, while another figure sets off as a messenger on a boat destined for work. The bustling river serves as both a backdrop and means of transportation for these devoted individuals. The scene also includes a colporteur, who tirelessly distributes religious literature to those in need. As an added touch, an ensign with the fleet proudly waves above them all, symbolizing unity and purpose. This historical snapshot not only highlights the significance of missions during that era but also emphasizes the crucial role played by women and girls in supporting such endeavors. It reminds us how faith can inspire people to reach out to others and make positive changes within their community. Preserved through time and now available as a print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to delve into London's rich history while appreciating the dedication and selflessness exhibited by those involved in Thames Church Mission.
