Group of Village Christian Women, Calabar, Nigeria, ca. 1930-1940

Tinted lantern slide featuring a group of Christian women standing in front of a thatched building in an unidentified Calabar village. The women wear dresses and hats or head-dresses (gele). A man stands to the rear of the group to the left of the picture, and may be a local teacher or pastor. 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.)
