Allegorical. An oval frame bears the Latin inscription and a broad ribbon underneath bears the following, The Gift of the Society for propagating the Gospel in Foreign parts, 1704. The scene is off the coast; a three-masted ship, with all sails set, is within a few feet of the shore; the missionary, whose height is equal to one half the foremast, stands before that mast with Bible in hand and is already preaching to the natives who, with outstretched hands, come running down the declivity. The imminent danger of the ship is possibly the real cause of the interest on the part of the natives. The full sun bestows his blessing, and a serpentine ribbon in mid-air bears the motto, Transiens adiuvanos. Two varieties. Illustrated in “Curio,” page 11.
