An Up River Market, Calabar, Nigeria, ca. 1930-1940

Tinted lantern slide showing a group of men and women at a market in an unidentified area of Calabar, up the Cross River. Men and women stand with bowls containing their wares. An umbrella can be seen in the foreground of the picture, resting on a large steel bowl. 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.)
