Black and white photograph showing a group of European and Nigerian nurses at Ama Achara Methodist Hospital in southeast Nigeria, which was run by the Methodist Missionary Society. They pose with seven small babies. Ama Achara often took in motherless or abandoned babies in the area, as well as taking care of births. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital. Godfrey can be seen standing at the far right of the image.
