"The Foreign Missionary," Halftones 1962-1963

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51760567

This series comprises approximately 300 halftones used from 1962-1963 in the United Lutheran Church in America publication, The Foreign Missionary. Halftones, in which photographs are reproduced on paper as a series of dots, are created for the purpose of reproducing photographs in a publication. All dots in a halftone are small enough that the human eye blurs them together and sees the image originally created when the photograph was taken. Most of the halftones in this series include an explanatory caption and date of the magazine issue in which the halftone was used. This may prove useful in trying to identify photographs used in The Foreign Missionary from 1962-1963. Also included in this series are halftones used in the 1961 Lutheran Global Missions, and the July 1962 booklet "Mission to Church." Subject matter includes mission schools, hospitals, churches, missionaries and their families, commissioning services, and special events. There are some images taken after the creation of the Lutheran Church in America (LCA) as The Foreign Missionary did publish for one year under the LCA. Files are arranged chronologically by journal issue.
