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.

Note: Susan Angeline Collins (1851-1940) was born in North Carolina and attended Upper Iowa University for Normal Training. She was the university’s first African American student. In 1875, while working as a laundress in the Dakota Territory, she noticed among clothes wrapped in newspapers an ad for mission training in Chicago. In 1887, responding to Bishop Taylor’s call, she went as a missionary first to the Congo and later Angola where, in Quéssua, she established a school for girls. Altogether she served more than 30 years.
