Black and white photograph showing a group of weavers in Igumale, in modern Benue state, mid-east Nigeria. The group is made up of Nigerian women, men and boys standing in front of round thatched huts. Strips of light cloth lie on the ground. This photograph was taken by Methodist Missionary Society missionaries on a trek to Igumale in June 1936. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, also run by the Methodist Missionary Society.
