| 520 | 3 | |a This print in the Council for World Mission archive vividly encapsulate the most dramatic aspects of missionary life. It shows the missionary John Williams being welcomed to the island of Tanna in the New Hebrides (Vanuatu) in 1839. A martyr to his faith, Williams became a legend and inspiration for missionaries and a series of seven London Missionary Society ships were named John Williams. -- This print is one of the ‘Baxter prints' after their creator, George Baxter (1804-67), a personal friend of Rev. Williams. Using wooden blocks to superimpose the different colours, this innovatory process was popular for a short time, but did not bring wealth to its inventor and was replaced by lithography, leaving Baxter to die in poverty (Text by Susannah Rayner, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.) | |
