Imprimerie de la Mission Catholique (Sienhsien)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Imprimerie de la mission catholique, Sienhsien was a significant printing press established by Jesuit fathers in Sienhsien (pinyin: Xianxian 献县), China, in 1874.[1]

The Imprimerie was created to publish devotional materials and sinological works. These volumes were studied widely by the foreign communities in China, and reprinted in several editions over subsequent decades. It also printed paper money (there are four examples, signed by Eugene Kammerer, in the British Museum collection, with photographs of the printing establishment).[2]
