Description: | A photograph entitled 'Foochow Church', taken by John Thomson, c. 1871. The photograph shows a European church in Fuzhou, China. As part of the unequal treaties following the Opium War of 1839 to 1842 China was forced to accept Christian missionaries. As early as 1847 three American Methodists built the first Protestant church in Fuzhou. They were soon followed by other missionary groups from Britain. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph | Temporal: | c. 1871 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Thomson, John (1837-1921) | Identifier: | 1992-5063/17 | Go to resource |
