Group of Boys, Calabar, Nigeria, ca. 1930-1940

Tinted lantern slide showing a group of eleven boys and young men. All wear brightly coloured wraps around their waist and white shirts. Some of the boys hold books, possibly Bibles. The background in this picture is unknown but may be mission property, possibly a school. 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.)
