A rare and historically rich collection of over 100 photographs, circa 1920s from China's Szechwan Province, documenting the cultural impact of early 20th century medical missionaries to China

Preserved in a scrapbook compiled by Viola L. Miller, these photographs offer an intimate look at the daily life of missionaries treating patients at the William Gamble Memorial Women's Hospital in Chungking, China. Gamble Hospital was more than just a hospital; it was established with a focus on education and training and provided a specialized program for women in midwifery, leading to the graduation of its first group of nurses in 1924.

The collection includes photographs of graduating medical students, patients, regional scenery, children, and weddings. Most photographs are carefully dated and labeled, providing a historical record of the period and the photographs and scrapbook in excellent condition.

We ask that when making your purchasing decision that you consider the photos as part of the item's description.

We do our best to provide you within the written description as much information, whether it’s the history, manufacturer, or condition, for each item we sell. 

We also recognize that a “picture is worth a thousand words” and ask that you view the photos we provide closely. Often, a photo can be more effective than a written description when determining if an item will meet your needs and satisfaction. 

If you need additional information on this or any item, please do not hesitate to reach out.
