Group of children, Nigeria, ca. 1925

Black and white photograph printed on a postcard showing a group of three Nigerian children outside a building of the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society in Nigeria. The group is made up of an older girl, a small boy and a baby, carried by the girl. The children wear no clothes, although the girl wears beads around her waist. This image comes from a photograph collection kept by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Methodist Hospital at Ama Achara, southeast Nigeria, from 1921 to 1944.
