Scenes of daily life of natives and a foreign missionary in Malawi, [s.d.]

Photo album of scenes of daily life of natives and a foreign missionary in Malawi, [s.d.]. Appeared to have been taken by a missionary, it has 66 images of the daily life of chiefs, slaves, men, women, children, iron workers, hunters, witch doctors and the missionary himself. Each page including the back of the front cover and the front of the back cover has three photographs, all in black and white. All photographs have captions in ink. It appears from the captions that most of the photographs were taken in Malawi which was then known Nysaland. It can be implied from the presence of a photograph of the grave site of Bishop MacKenzie (1825-1862) in an overgrown jungle that these photographs were not taken before 1862. It also includes a photograph of "Ngombi Sazi, Livingstone's personal friend". Some sections of this album have headings such as "A native industry: exceedingly ancient ironworkers", 'A Lakeshore industry of fishermen", "Native religion: the witch doctor", and "Missionary work". Its red cloth binding is faded and appears to be water damaged and soiled. Its spine is missing except for a small tail. Its cover has the title "Sweet memories".

马拉维当地原住民与外国传教士日常生活场景相册，[无确切拍摄日期]。该相册疑似由一名传教士拍摄，内含66张影像，记录了酋长、奴隶、男女老少、铁匠、猎人、巫医以及传教士本人的日常生活。包括前封面背面与后封面正面在内的每一页均印有三张照片，全部为黑白影像，所有照片均配有手写墨水标注的说明文字。从照片说明文字可知，绝大多数影像拍摄于当时名为尼亚萨兰（Nyasaland）的马拉维地区。相册中收录有麦肯齐主教（Bishop MacKenzie，1825-1862）位于茂密丛林中的墓地的照片，由此可推断这批影像的拍摄时间不早于1862年。此外还收录有一张题为"恩戈姆比·萨齐——利文斯通的私交好友"的照片。该相册部分板块配有标题，例如"本土产业：极为古老的铁匠行当"、"湖滨产业：渔民营生"、"本土信仰：巫医"以及"传教士工作"。相册采用红色布艺装帧，现已褪色，且存在水渍损坏与污渍残留；仅余一小段书脊尾部，书脊主体已缺失。封面印有标题"甜蜜回忆（Sweet memories）"。
