Description
English:
Dr Harry Guinness on Congo, Congo, 1891
Black and white lantern slide featuring a small group of missionaries from the Congo-Balolo Mission in 1891. The group comprises nine smartly dressed men and women. One woman sits and holds the hand of a Congolese girl, dressed in a smart, white dress, and another Congolese girl sits at the feet of Mr Cole, wearing a striped blazer. Women wear smart, floor length Edwardian dresses whilst men wear trousers with blazers. Palms can be seen behind the group, and they are pictured in front of fencing made of branches. The photograph was taken by Dr Harry Guinness, and from left to right, the group comprises: Back row: Dr Harry Guinness (dark jacket with light trim and hand on hip); Mr Howell; Mr Luff; Mrs McKittrick; Mr McKittrick; Mr Gibson. Front row: Mr Cole; Mrs Cole; and Miss De Hailes. 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.
