Children's Game, Calabar, Nigeria, ca. 1930-1940

Tinted lantern slide showing children holding hands in a large circle playing a game. Two children chase each other in the centre of the circle, wearing blindfolds. It may be a version of the British parlour game "Squeak Piggy Squeak." The image may have been taken in a mission school. This slide comes from a set on mission, culture and industry in Calabar, southeast Nigeria generated by the Church of Scotland and the United Free Church of Scotland (which was incorporated with the Church of Scotland in 1929.)
