About This Item
Cork: Eagle Printing Works, 1912. An illustrated program for a traveling missionary exhibition held at Central Hall, Cork, Ireland in 1912. As described in the Foreword, "This Exhibition is an attempt to give information concerning the life and religions, habits and customs, of several lands. Missionaries will speak of what they have felt and seen; different objects and curious will engage attention and quicken interest, while several phases of healthen life will be atually represented." Includes a schedule and a detailed description of the various exhibits, including those of West Africa, Central South Africa, China, West Indies, & India and Ceylon. Besides artifacts and lectures, there were also dramatic presentations of a Brahman Marriage, the healing of a Tamil child by a missionary after exposing the fraudulent local "Devil Priest," and Queen Lexa's Chinese Meeting. Peppered throughout are many interesting adverts for early 20th century Cork area businesses.
Stapled, illustrated red wrappers (8 ¾" x 5 ¾"), yap edges, 28 p., black & white photographs throughout. Chipping along yap edges, rubbing to wrappers, but a very good copy. Not found by us in WorldCat.
