EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of Elevara Village in Papua New Guinea as viewed from the London Missionary Society (L.M.S.) Mission in the late 19th or early 20th century. The L.M.S., founded in England in 1795, was a non-denominational missionary society that played a significant role in spreading Christianity and Western influence in the South Pacific and Africa. The photograph showcases the local indigenous population going about their daily lives in their traditional Papuan huts, built on stilts to protect against the frequent flooding. The village, with its vibrant colors and lush greenery, is nestled among the verdant landscape, offering a stark contrast to the missionary compound in the background. The Elevara Mission was one of many established by the L.M.S. in Papua New Guinea, a country with a rich and complex history. The population of Papua New Guinea was estimated to be around 2.5 million at the time, with numerous ethnic groups and languages. The missionaries played a crucial role in documenting and preserving the history and culture of these indigenous peoples, as well as introducing Western education, healthcare, and agricultural practices. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Papuan people during a time of significant cultural change. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical and cultural significance of the London Missionary Society and its impact on the people of Papua New Guinea.
