Dr Henshaw and relatives, Nigeria, 1935

Black and white photograph of a Nigerian physician, Dr Henshaw, and his family at the hospital at Ama Achara, southeast Nigeria, run by the Methodist Missionary Society. They are joined by a male European missionary. The group sit and stand on the lawn at the hospital, next to a small table decorated with flowers. Children and young people sit on a bench in the foreground of the image: most wear matching "baker boy" style caps. Dr Henshaw stands at the left of the standing group, wearing a white suit and hat. The caption to this image reads: "Dr Henshaw & relatives Xmas 1935." This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital.
