Tinted lantern slide showing a European missionary standing with six young (teenage) male apprentices. The group poses next to metal machine parts (car parts). The missionary's suit and hat have been tinted white whilst the boys wear oil stained clothes. The image may have been taken at the Hope Waddell Training Institute, a vocational school run by the Calabar Mission that taught boys and girls in subjects such as mechanics, engineering and needlework. The school opened in 1895. 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.)
