Gezicht op een missiepost in Dillon's bay op Erromango before 1875

This black and white photograph by George Smith, taken before 1875, depicts a mission station at Dillon's Bay, Erromango, in the New Hebrides. The image shows a lush, green landscape with a river flowing in the foreground. The mission station, comprised of several buildings, is located at the water's edge, nestled amongst dense vegetation. The photograph offers a glimpse into the early missionary efforts in the South Pacific and the challenges faced by those working in this remote and often dangerous region. This early photographic documentation is a valuable record of the mission station, providing insight into the lives of missionaries and the local inhabitants during this period.
