Mr Coxill and smallest pupil in Ikau village school, Congo, ca. 1920-1930

Black and white lantern slide showing a smiling male missionary (Mr Coxill) from the Congo Balolo Mission in shorts, shirt, pith helmet and boots holding the hand of an African small child. The child wears a string of beads, a small loincloth, and bracelets on each ankle. Older children are seen standing in the background. The missionary stands before a thatched hut. This slide comes from a collection generated by missionaries working for the Congo Balolo Mission, a mission under the supervision of the East London Training Institute for Home and Foreign Missions that developed into the interdenominational evangelical mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union.

本藏品为一张黑白幻灯玻片，画面中来自刚果巴洛洛传教团（Congo Balolo Mission）的男性传教士考克西尔先生面带笑容，身着短裤、衬衫，头戴遮阳盔（pith helmet），脚穿长靴，正牵着一名非洲幼童的手。该幼童佩戴一串珠饰、一块小型腰布，且双脚脚踝处各配有手镯。背景中可见数名年长孩童站立，该传教士站在一座茅草屋前。该幻灯玻片出自刚果巴洛洛传教团传教士所留存的藏品系列；该传教团隶属于东伦敦国内外传教训练学院（East London Training Institute for Home and Foreign Missions），该学院后续发展为跨教派福音传教机构——超越地域传教联盟（Regions Beyond Missionary Union）。
