Tinted lantern slide, part of a slide set called "Congo Parcel." The slide features a table in front of a house, on which is laid metal tins, and a bag or cushion embroidered with: "Mr CARTWRIGHT, C.B.M, YOSEKI." Yoseki was a mission station of the Congo Balolo Mission, and was opened up in 1913 after the Congo Balolo Mission toured the higher Lopori River. Ernest Cartwright was based at Yoseki. He originally sailed or the Congo in 1905, and became a pioneer of mission work in the Yuli district. Ernest Cartwright was a long term missionary for the Congo Balolo Mission, working into the 1920s. 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.
