Children in Lamas street, Peru, ca. 1947

Black and white lantern slide showing a group of girls in school uniform of smock dress and straw hat walking up a cobbled street, probably in Lamas, San Martin, Peru. Other men, women and children also can be seen in the street. The girls may belong to a Peruvian Inland Mission school. The street is lined with neat single storey houses with tiled roofs. 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
