Ink and watercolour illustration, with Chinese text, showing a male figure bowing down before a seated female. This is one of several watercolours showing cultural aspects from Manchuria. The United Presbyterian Church established a field there in 1872 when Dr John Ross developed stations 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
