Black and white photograph showing a baby at a clinic in the Ama Achara hospital in southeast Nigeria run by the Methodist Missionary Society. The baby sits on a scale (made by the United Kingdom company, W & T Avery Ltd., Birmingham.) The child wears a string of beads across his body and places his hand on the counterweight of the scales. His mother stands by and watches him. A male nurse at the hospitals sits in the background in a white coat. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital.
