Tinted lantern slide showing a European missionary seated with a group of villagers. The majority of the villages are naked or wear loin-cloths, whilst the missionary wears a suit and straw hat. Two of the male villagers wear trousers, shirts and hats. An older man sits in the centre of the group and may be the village leader, or a senior member of the family or group shown. Large thatched dwellings can be seen as the background to the picture. 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.)
