Description: "Front of doctor's house - Eng Chhun". Eng Chhun [Yongchun), about 40 miles north of Quanzhou became a mission station of the English Presbyterian Mission in about 1887. Prominent local citizens requested a mission doctor and hospital. Dr John Cross arrived in 1894 and funding from Lilias Graham enabled the building of a hospital.
Album containing approximately 170 photographs and 55 coloured drawings belonging to Lilias Graham, of the Womens' Missionary Association, English Presbyterian Mission in China. Lilias Graham was an honorary missionary with the WMA from 1888 to 1906 when ill-health forced her to retire. She herself funded much of the WMA work in Chuan-Chow [Quanzhou], Fujian Province.
