Summary

Description
English: Congolese women and female missionary, Congo, ca. 1900-1915
  • Tinted lantern slide showing a group of Congolese women and a female missionary of the Congo Balolo Mission, Congo (present day Democratic Republic of the Congo).
  • Only a few Congolese women wear smock dresses, the remainder wear traditional wraps or are bare-chested. There are also a few men in the group. The Congolese women have had their lips tinted bright red, which has not happened to the men in the group or the female missionary.
  • Work amongst women was very important to the Congo Balolo Mission in its early days, and was started in 1899.
  • 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.
