EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during the Victorian period when Christianity was being preached in Papua New Guinea. The image showcases a group of missionaries, dressed in traditional Victorian attire, fervently spreading the teachings of Christianity to the indigenous people of Papua New Guinea.
The vintage lantern slide exudes an air of nostalgia and historical significance, transporting viewers back to a time when missionary work was at its peak. The dedication and passion of these early Christian missionaries are palpable in their expressions as they engage with the local community.
The juxtaposition of Western religion and Papuan culture is evident in this photograph, highlighting the complexities and challenges faced by missionaries during this period. Despite cultural differences and language barriers, these missionaries were determined to share their faith with the people of Papua New Guinea.
Through this image, we are reminded of the impact that religious colonization had on indigenous communities around the world. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power dynamics at play during this era and prompts us to reflect on how different cultures interacted during colonial times.
Overall, this print from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when Christianity was first introduced to Papua New Guinea, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to shape the country's religious landscape today.
