Description
Tinted lantern slide showing an Indian native evangelist. He may have graduated from an institution, since he holds a rolled-up piece of paper. He wears a shirt and a dhoti (a sarong-like wrap worn around the waist). The man stands in front of a building with brick arches in a Western style. This slide comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union, an interdenominational Protestant evangelical mission working in northeast India (Bihar and Orissa) and Nepal.
