EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Moa, Dinornis" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a significant moment in Christian missionary work. The print depicts an English School's interpretation of the extinct bird species known as Moa, specifically Dinornis. This artwork was originally featured in the book "Conquests of the Cross: A Record of Missionary Work throughout the World" edited by Edwin Hodder and published around 1890. The image serves as a visual representation of Christianity's spread across New Zealand during that era. Missionaries played a crucial role in introducing and establishing Christian values within indigenous communities. As we delve into this historical context, it becomes evident that religion served as a bridge between cultures, fostering understanding and unity. "The Moa, Dinornis" engraving not only captures the magnificence of these colossal birds but also symbolizes their extinction alongside traditional beliefs due to religious conversion. It stands as a testament to both scientific curiosity and spiritual transformation. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its cultural significance. Through this print, viewers are invited to reflect on how religion can shape societies while acknowledging the delicate balance between progress and preservation.
