40 postcards of missionary activity in colonial Spanish Guinea, published by the Misiones de Guinea Espanola under the guise of the Claretian missionaries. A very rare subject.
NOTE: The history of the Catholic missions in Spanish Guinea, led by the Claretian Missionaries from 1883, focused on evangelizing the native Bubi people, particularly on Fernando Po. The missions aimed to establish a powerful spiritual and cultural presence, creating settlements and instructing indigenous populations in Christianity and Spanish customs, often in an attempt to protect them from exploitation but also facilitating disease spread and causing conflict with colonial authorities and other groups. The missions also served a colonial purpose, being viewed by the Franco regime as a means of solidifying Spanish cultural dominance and influencing the colony's cultural output.
