![[Eight plates from the North-West America section of 'Illustrations of Missionary Scenes, an Offering to Youth'.]](jpegs/47285.jpg)
[Eight plates from the North-West America section of 'Illustrations of Missionary Scenes, an Offering to Youth'.]
[after Joseph Friedrich Josenhans.]
[Mainz: Joseph Scholz, c.1855.]
Eight tinted lithographs with hand colour. Each sheet 325 x 205mm (12¾ x 8"), backed on linen for binding, with letterpress with the titles and a short description. Manuscript pagination on all sheets.
All eight plates from 'Illustrations' relating to America from 'Illustrations of Missionary Scenes, an Offering to Youth', by Joseph Friedrich Josenhans (1812-84), Inspector (head) of the Basel Mission, which contained views from West Africa, India, China and New Zealand as well as the American north-west. There does not appear to be a standard collation. The titles of the plates (from the letterpress) are: 'Dying Indian and Medecine Man'; 'A Missionary's halt in a winter journey'; 'A Missionary descending the rapids in a canoe'; 'Baptism of Indians by the Bishop of Rupert's Land'; 'Public Ordinances prized at the Cumberland Station'; 'A winter congregation at the Red-River Settlement'; 'An Aged Indian, deserted by his tribe, and left to perish'; 'Value set on the Bible' [an interior scene of an Indian boy dying of consumption].
Abbey Travel 10: ''Carefully drawn, and in some cases remarkably powerful illustrations'.
