Black and white lantern slide showing two young Congolsese women and two children. One woman sits, wearing a spotted European style dress. She wears a patterned cloth wrap around her head and holds two children on her knee. One child is slightly older than the other, and they both wear coloured smocks. Another woman stands next to her wearing a brightly patterned cloth wrap. The group poses in front of a thatched dwelling with mud walls. 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.
