General Note:
The Religious Tract Society Posters collection is a collection of 75 missionary posters from the Religious Tract Society. The posters were issued from their Headquarters in Shanghai and Hangchow between 1933 and 1942. Posters are in a calligraphic style and are designed in the form of a vertical scroll. The majority of the collection is made up of larger, Chinese-influenced posters, which are a curious hybrid style mixing biblical allusion, native costumes and architecture in a Chinese landscape; other posters are based on the biblical illustrations of Harold Copping (1863-1932), who was a prolific RTS illustrator.
General Note:
This poster was digitised and catalogued in collaboration with the Chinese Christian Posters project at the Center for Global Christianity and Mission at Boston University and with funding from the University and the Henry Luce Foundation. The project was led by a team including Professor Dana L. Robert and Dr. Daryl R. Ireland among others at Boston University. Some of the cataloguing has been modified to reflect SOAS information and practices.
