Black and white lantern slide showing a tall Congolese man. The side is captioned with his name, "Ntombo". He wears a patterned short and long shorts. Two figures can be seen in the background, along with a single storey dwelling (upon which a notice is fixed) and palm trees. The man may be pictured in property run by the Congo Balolo Mission. 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.
