Abstract
We cite from the cover : /
"Missionaries of the Finnish Missionary Society were pioneers in making a record of the cultures of faraway countries. Many of them preserved what they saw and experienced in the photographs they took.
This book contains a collection of archive photographs which are historically and artistically most representative of South-West Africa and China at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the present century. Among the photographers are August Pettinen, Hannu Haahti, Maria Wehanen and Yrjö Nummi. This unique book resurrects a vanished world before our very eyes.
"It is much easier for us to communicate with people about whose past and cultural environment we have some knowledge. This photographic material is truly of great value. The photographs give an excellent picture of the culture and also of the way it changed."
Kaisa Grönholm, researcher at the National Board of Antiquities and Historical Monuments"
