Calcutta, Darjeeling & Bihar (Sir John Laing Missionary Films)
Rare amateur footage of East India
Sir John Laing, heir to the Laing construction firm, was a deeply religious man. Several amateur films were taken documenting his missionary trips to South Asia. This film covers missions in parts of East India and is a valuable visual record of people and places visited by Sir John (sometimes seen in the film).
