EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, estimated to have been taken between 1900 and 1923, features Father William Duncan, a dedicated missionary, standing in front of the Metlakatla town library in Metlakatla, Alaska. The image exudes a sense of history and the meeting of frontiers as Father Duncan, dressed in his Anglican clergy attire, gazes directly at the camera with a confident and resolute expression. The library, a testament to the progress and development of this Alaskan community, looms in the background with its grand architecture and imposing presence. Father Duncan's beard and hat add to the authenticity of the image, as well as highlighting the fashion trends of the time. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the occupation of a missionary in the early 20th century, as he stood as a beacon of faith and knowledge in the frontier town. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage and history of Alaska and its people, as well as the enduring influence of Christianity in the continent's diverse communities. This photograph, from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the history of Alaska, the United States, or the spread of Christianity in the 20th century.
