Village Women, Malawi, ca. 1914-1918

Black and white lantern slide showing a group of village women and their small children. One woman stands with her small child next to her watching another young woman who is grinding corn using a large wooden pestle. The woman who grinds corn carries a baby in a sling on her back. Other village women can be seen in the background, and corn grinding equipment lies on the ground. This slide comes from a set on the activities of the King’s African Rifles battalions in Nyasaland. It was originally held by the Church of Scotland, and generated by J.W MacKay.
