約1900年代傳教士與清末官員肖像明信片兩枚,一為英國傳教士李提摩太(Timothy Richard)肖像,背面附其在華事略,曾從事山東、山西賑災及教育事業;另一枚題為“A Friend of the Society — Military Mandarin of Ching Chin”,由倫敦傳道會出版,示中國官員半身像。兩枚均為英國印製,為早期西方傳教與中國形象紀錄之珍罕明信片。

pair of early missionary-related portrait postcards — one depicting Dr. Timothy Richard (1845–1919), renowned British Baptist missionary to China, credited for famine relief and educational reform; the other titled “A Friend of the Society — Military Mandarin of Ching Chin”, issued by the London Missionary Society. Both printed in England, the first with biographical notes on reverse. Fine and uncommon examples reflecting early Western missionary engagement and representation of Chinese officials.
