Summary

Description
English: Missionaries and steam train, Congo, ca. 1900-1915
Black and white lantern slide showing a group of male and female European missionaries boarding or descending from passenger carriages on a steam train, in Belgian colonial Congo Free State or post-1908 Belgian Congo (present day Democratic Republic of the Congo).
  • All missionaries are smartly dressed and wear hats or pith helmets. The missionaries are watched by a group of Congolese men and women in Western attire.
  • The train runs on the Cape to Cairo Railway, an unfinished project envisioned by businessman and entrpreneur Sir Cecil Rhodes to traverse Africa from south to north with railway line, joining disparate British colonial territories.
  • 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.
