Description
“3 old mandarins came back to their homes having finished their labours and take supreme delight in each fondling his son.” Ink and watercolour illustration of three old men, in a rural setting, playing with their children, a deer stands behind them. ❧ The United Presbyterian Church established a field in Manchuria, 1872, when Dr John Ross developed stations running from the port of Newchwang to the state capital of Moukden [Shenyang]. He also made inroads into Korea and translated the New Testament into Korean. ❧ The image is from an album associated with Rev. James A Whylie (1863-1894) who was ordained to the Manchuria mission in 1887 and based in Liaoyang, 1888-1894
