EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history - the interruption of a human sacrifice by Christian missionaries in 1878. The image, created by J Christie, is taken from The Illustrated London News and serves as a haunting reminder of the clash between different cultures during the 19th century. In this scene, we see two bearded British missionaries bravely stepping into an unknown territory to prevent a gruesome act. Their presence alone disrupts the solemnity of the ritual, as they hold up their crucifixes with conviction. The engraving beautifully portrays their determination to bring about conversion and save lives. The contrast between light and dark adds depth to this thought-provoking composition. It symbolizes not only the physical intervention but also represents the struggle between religious beliefs and cultural practices. This encounter challenges our understanding of religion, faith, and tradition. As we observe these brave men fulfilling their calling as messengers of God's word, it prompts us to reflect on how religion has shaped societies throughout history. It raises questions about colonialism, imperialism, and cultural assimilation that were prevalent during this time. J Christie's artwork encapsulates both tension and hope within its monochrome frame. Through his skillful depiction of this historical event, he invites viewers to contemplate themes such as sacrifice, prevention, occupation, conversion - all against a backdrop of Victorian England. This print serves as a testament to humanity's complex relationship with religion while reminding us that even in times of darkness there is always
