Black and white lantern slide showing a female missionary pictured with a group of men and boys, who stand and sit with open Bibles. The men wear a variety of clothing, from being bare-chested to wearing a wrap, or shorts and shirt. The female missionary may be Mrs Ellery. She wears a smart dress and a pith helmet with a decorative band. 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.
