| 520 | 3 | |a This print in the Council for World Mission archive vividly encapsulate the most dramatic aspects of missionary life. It shows a very different reception the next day on the island of Erromango, where Williams and a companion were butchered within minutes of landing, and eaten. 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.) | |
