Black and white photograph printed on a postcard showing the interior of a women's ward at the leper colony in Uzuakoli, southeast Nigeria, run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society. The ward has been decorated with a paper chain and bell for Christmas. All beds are empty, and neatly made. A Nigerian nurse stands in the centre of the image. The caption to this image reads: "Women's ward - Leper Colony Hospital. Christmas 1932." This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, also run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society.
