The prints depict the folk and mission life of India, showcasing remarkable scenes from the natives' lives. Josenhans created a series of prints to depict the unsettling circumstances that missionaries faced and contributed to in regions like West Africa, China, India, and New Zealand. Josenhans issued these prints during the war. His experiences from a visitation trip through the East Indian mission areas, coupled with his goal-oriented loyalty, enabled him to organize the work on the mission fields, in the home, and throughout the entire mission work in a comprehensive, centralised, and successful manner, in line with the demands of the time. Josenhans was the inspector of the Evangelical Missionary Institute in Basel and the educator of its missionaries for a generation from 1850 to 1879.
