Road to Settlement, Calabar, Nigeria, ca. 1930-1940

Tinted lantern slide showing the path to a settlement, showing open wooden gates. The path is orderly and lined with planted grasses and thatched buildings can be seen inside the settlement area. It is possible that this image shows the entrance to land owned by the Calabar Mission. 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.)
