EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the atmosphere of the SPG Missionary Exhibition held at the Brighton Dome in Sussex, England, in 1912. Two women, dressed in elegant Edwardian attire, are seen engrossed in conversation at the Melanesia table. The table is laden with a native hut replica, intricately carved artefacts, books, and portraits of clergymen. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG), an Anglican charitable organization, organized this exhibition to raise awareness and funds for their missionary work in various parts of the world, including Melanesia. The SPG aimed to spread the Christian faith and promote education, healthcare, and social welfare in these regions. The women's intense focus on the displays reflects their deep commitment to the cause. The exotic and intriguing objects on the table serve as a reminder of the vast cultural differences that the missionaries encountered in their work and the challenges they faced in their efforts to bring about conversion and evangelism. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the role of women in missionary work and the importance of charitable organizations in promoting religious and social change during the 1910s.
