A group of young women and girls stands in the shade of a thatch roof in the background, wearing identical dresses supplied by the mission. The caption to this photograph reads: "Miss Brazier's compound, June 1936." Miss Brazier was a missionary for the Methodist Missionary Society based in the Umuahia area of Nigeria, in charge of evangelistic work.
