Description
Tinted lantern slide showing an older Indian woman holding an infant on her knee whilst sitting on the ground. Since the baby is wearing Western style clothing, the lady may be part of the staff of an institution run by Regions Beyond Missionary Union. This slide comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union, an interdenominational Protestant evangelical mission working in northeast India (Bihar and Orissa) and Nepal.
