EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1895 lithograph cartoon by Louis Dalrymple, titled "Missionary Cartoon" offers a critical perspective on the British and American missionary efforts to convert the Chinese to Christianity. The image portrays a scene filled with symbolism and satire, highlighting the perceived arrogance and misguided intentions of these missionaries. In the foreground, we see a group of British and American men dressed in top hats and military uniforms. They are armed with cannons, representing their forceful approach towards conversion. Kneeling before them are Chinese soldiers, emphasizing their subjugation under foreign influence. The central figure is a missionary holding a hymn book while standing on an oversized Bible labeled "Conversion". This character represents the self-righteousness often associated with religious zealots who believe they possess all-encompassing truths. Surrounding him are women wearing parasols symbolizing Western cultural imposition. The cartoon also references Rudyard Kipling's poem "White Man's Burden" which advocated for Western imperialism as a moral duty to civilize non-Western societies. By depicting this scene through caricatured figures and exaggerated features like moustaches, Dalrymple highlights the absurdity of such ideas. Dalrymple's work challenges the notion that converting others to one's own religion is inherently noble or justified. It serves as social commentary on imperialistic tendencies prevalent during this time period in both Britain and America. Overall, this lithograph captures an important historical moment when criticism was raised against missionary activities that sought to impose
