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".

马拉维当地居民与外籍传教士日常生活场景相册，[无确切拍摄日期]。该相册疑似由一位传教士拍摄，内含66张黑白照片，记录了酋长、奴隶、男性、女性、孩童、铁匠、猎人、巫医以及传教士本人的日常生活。相册每页（含封面背面与封底正面）均排布三张照片，所有照片均配有墨笔手写注释。从注释可知，绝大多数照片拍摄于当时名为尼亚萨兰（Nyasaland）的马拉维地区。从一张拍摄于茂密丛生丛林中的麦肯齐主教（Bishop MacKenzie，1825-1862）墓址的照片可推断，这批照片的拍摄时间不早于1862年。相册还收录了一张题为“恩戈姆比·萨齐（Ngombi Sazi）——利文斯通的挚友”的照片。该相册部分板块设有专属标题，例如“本土产业：古老至极的铁匠行业”、“湖滨产业：渔民”、“本土信仰：巫医”以及“传教事务”。相册的红色布面装帧已褪色，且存在水渍损坏与污渍，仅残留一小段书脊尾端，其余书脊部分已缺失。封面印有标题“甜蜜回忆（Sweet memories）”。
