Hardcover. Very good. Printed on cloth. Toning along original fold lines. Size 36.5 x 54.5 Inches. This is a separately issued 1894 American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions cloth map of Micronesia. The map chronicles the saga of missionary conversion in the distant and diverse archipelago. A Closer Look The map focuses on four archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean: the Ladrone Islands (today known as the Marianas Islands), the Caroline Islands, the Marshall Islands, and the Gilbert Islands. Parts of Melanesia, including most of New Guinea and New Britain, along with the Admiralty Islands, are situated in the lower-left corner. An inset of the 'Lagoon of Ruk' appears along the top border. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in Micronesia The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions first sent missionaries to Micronesia in 1852. Three couples, by the last names of Snow, Gulick, and Sturgis, arrived on Kusaie and Ponape Islands in the Caroline Islands, along with two Hawaiian teachers, and received a warm welcome from the native islanders. Missionary activities spread to the Gilbert and Marshall Islands in 1857 with the arrival of more missionaries from the United States. These missionaries immediately began learning the local languages, creating written forms when none existed, and then translating Christian texts into the local languages. This allowed the missionaries to teach their students (and future converts) reading and writing, which, in the 19th century, played a critical role in evangelizing. Missionaries would come and go from the region for the next 40 years. New missionaries would arrive from Hawaii or the U.S., while experienced individuals were pushed to retire and return to 'civilization' due to their age or poor health. Ruk, in the Mortlock Islands, was one of the last island groups 'colonized' by A.B.C.F.M. missionaries, with a permanent mission set up in 1884. Christianizing the World In the second half of the 19th century, it was commonly believed that the Christianization of the world was a pre-requisite for the Second Coming of Christ. Maps like this, which were issued for the proselytization effort, tended to simplify global religious diversity. They present an easily digestible and preferred model of religion, wherein large geographical blocks can be assigned to this or that faith. This approach allowed for the propagandization of the missionary effort itself, selling the successes of missionary work not only to those being converted but also at home to future missionary generations and financial backers. Lithography and Missionary Maps Large format cloth maps like this began appearing around 1845 when the rise of commercial lithographic printing in the United States made their production both practical and economical. Unlike the copper plate printing process, lithographic printing could easily imprint images on cloth. This was of particular value for missionary work, which often involved harsh field conditions that would quickly destroy any similarly sized paper map. Publication History and Census This map was lithographed by Berthold Meisel and published by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in 1894. Smaller versions of this map were included in reports published by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions about their work in Hawaii and Micronesia. This is the only known example of the 1894 edition. We are aware of one example of an 1886 edition.…
