EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the moment Scottish missionary Robert Moffat delivers a powerful sermon in a humble Boers house in South Africa during the 19th century. The image, created by an anonymous English artist, showcases Moffat's unwavering dedication to spreading Christianity and his commitment to serving the local community. As he stands before a group of attentive worshippers, Moffat's fervent preaching resonates with passion and conviction. His words transcend language barriers, as both Scottish and Boer alike hang on every syllable. This scene epitomizes the profound impact that faith can have on people from different backgrounds coming together under one roof. The historical context surrounding this image cannot be ignored. It sheds light on the complex dynamics of colonialism prevalent at that time. As a representative of Great Britain, Moffat symbolizes British influence in South Africa while simultaneously embodying Christian values and principles. Through this engraving, we witness not only religious devotion but also cultural exchange between Europe and Africa. It serves as a reminder of how religion has played a significant role in shaping history and fostering connections across continents. This print is part of an extensive collection called "Romance of Real Life" which aimed to inspire readers through true stories about remarkable individuals like Robert Moffat who dedicated their lives to making positive change in society.
