Summary[edit]

Description
English: Man in stocks, Congo, ca. 1900-1915
  • Black and white lantern slide showing a man imprisoned in wooden stocks in colonial Belgian Congo (present day Democratic Republic of the Congo).
  • The wooden stocks hold each one of his legs, whilst they are attached to his wrists by a rope. The man wears a loincloth.
  • It is possible that he has been photographed as an example of the treatment of slaves in the Congo or of the harsh punishments meeted out on workers in the rubber plantaions of the Congo Free State, territory belonging to King Leopold II of Belgium.
  • 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.
