From crescent to cross, India, ca. 1915

Tinted lantern slide showing a young man, Paulas Mishael, who was once an orphan cared for by Regions Beyond Missionary Union. At the time that the image was taken, Paulas Mischel was a teacher in the day school run by Regions Beyond Missionary Union in Siwan, Bihar. Paulas wears a Western style jacket, a shirt and a dhoti, a length of white cotton worn around the waist by men, most often seen in Indian villages. Paulas leans on a wicker chair. He wears socks and shoes on his feet, and holds a book or tract in his hand. 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.本数据集收录一张着色幻灯玻璃片，画面主体为青年保罗亚斯·米夏埃尔（Paulas Mishael）。他曾为孤儿，由超越区域传教联盟（Regions Beyond Missionary Union）照料。影像拍摄期间，保罗亚斯·米夏埃尔于印度比哈尔邦锡万市该传教联盟运营的日间学校任教。 保罗亚斯身着西式夹克与衬衫，下身搭配托蒂（Dhoti）——一种男性腰间缠绕的白色棉质织物，在印度乡村极为常见。他倚靠于一张藤椅之上，脚上穿着袜子与皮鞋，手中持有一本书籍或传教小册子。 该幻灯玻璃片源自超越区域传教联盟传教士所编纂的藏品集。该机构是一家在印度东北部（比哈尔邦与奥里萨邦）及尼泊尔开展活动的跨教派新教福音传教机构。
