Mompono, clothing, Congo, ca. 1920-1930

Tinted lantern slide showing clothes hanging up at the Congo Balolo Mission station in Mompono. A wooden box has been set up, upon which four items sit, which may be balls of yarn. The word "CONGO" is written on the box. The clothes and yarn may have been part of a gift parcel sent to the Congo Balolo Mission, since this slide is part of a set called "Congo Parcel." 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.
