Black and white lantern slide showing a group of missionaries from the Peruvian Inland Mission on a loaded wooden raft on a river in Peru. Three female missionaries in smart dresses and hats stand on the raft, which is loaded with boxes and cloth bundles. A European gentleman, possible Edward James Ball of the Peruvian Inland Mission stands at the edge of the raft, with a Peruvian young boy dressed in shorts, jacket and a uniform hat. Two Peruvian boatmen appear to be securing goods to the raft. 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.
