Summary edit

Description
English: Printing house, Bongandanga, Congo, ca. 1900-1915
Black and white lantern slide showing the printing house built by the Congo Balolo Mission at Bongandanga, colonial Belgian Congo (present day Democratic Republic of the Congo).
  • A European missionary woman stands in a white dress with arms clasped in the doorway. The woman is probably Lily Ruskin, wife of pioneer Congo missionary Edward Algernon Ruskin. The pair worked together for forty-four years at Bongandanga, from where they based their translation and publishing work.
  • 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.
