Description
Black and white lantern slide showing Peruvian Inland Missionary Edward James Ball with a group of Peruvian male porters. Reverend Ball was the first man to serve the Peruvian Inland Mission for a significant period of time. Reverend Ball wears trousers and shirt with a pith helmet, and carries bags across his body. He carries a lamp in his hand. The porters carry items on their backs (held by straps across their bodies), and carry lamps and mugs. This slide comes from a collection created by the Peruvian Inland Mission, an evangelical mission started in 1930 by Miss Annie G Soper in northeast Peru, which was administered by the evangelical interdenominational mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union from 1948.
