EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Robert Morrison, engraved by the talented W. Holl, from The National Portrait Gallery Volume IV. Published around 1820, this lithograph captures the essence of Morrison's influential presence as a Scottish missionary in China. Morrison, born in 1782 and passing away in 1834, was renowned for being the first Christian Protestant missionary to venture into China. His dedication to spreading Christianity across Asia is beautifully depicted through this portrait. Seated at his desk amidst an array of documents, Morrison exudes wisdom and determination. The artist George Chinnery skillfully captures every detail of Morrison's countenance - his intense gaze reflects years of study and devotion to his cause. This portrait not only immortalizes Morrison but also serves as a testament to his significant contributions towards bridging cultures and promoting religious understanding between East and West. Displayed within a private collection, this historical gem offers viewers a glimpse into an extraordinary individual who played an instrumental role in shaping China's religious landscape during the early 19th century. With its timeless appeal and artistic finesse, this print stands as a powerful reminder of the enduring impact one person can have on society when driven by passion and conviction.
