Teachers, Congo, ca. 1900-1915

Black and white lantern slide showing a group of three male Christian teachers in the Congo. An older man wearing a jacket with a round collar sits at the centre of the image. Two younger men stand next to him, one at each side. One man wears a round, high collared jacket with a wrap around his waist, and the other younger gentleman wears a suit and tie, with a cumberbund around the waist. This slide comes from a collection generated by missionaries working for the Congo Balolo Mission, a mission begun in 1889 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 after 1900.
