EDITORS COMMENTS
In this steel engraving from 1837, titled "MISSIONARIES IN AFRICA. The Reverend J. Campbell's Method of Travelling in South Africa" we are transported back to a significant moment in history when the African continent was being explored and influenced by Western missionaries. The image showcases a procession led by Reverend J. Campbell, an American missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in South Africa during the early 19th century. The scene depicts a caravan of covered wagons pulled by sturdy oxen, serving as the primary mode of transportation for these brave individuals on their arduous journey through the vast African landscape. This engraving not only captures the physical aspect of travel but also symbolizes the spiritual conversion that these missionaries aimed to achieve among the local population. It represents an important chapter in colonial history, highlighting both cultural exchange and challenges faced by those attempting to spread their beliefs. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into Reverend Campbell's dedication and determination as he carries what some may refer to as "the white man's burden". This phrase alludes to the responsibility felt by Europeans and Americans at that time to bring civilization and religion to other parts of the world. Overall, this historical print serves as a reminder of how exploration, conversion efforts, and transportation methods played crucial roles in shaping societies across continents during this period.
