Chief: Farm Plantation, Calabar, Nigeria, ca. 1930-1940

Tinted lantern slide featuring a group of Efik men with their Chief sitting on a low log bench in the foreground of the picture taken on a farm plantation. The Chief wears a wrap around his waist, and has a brightly coloured cloth over his left shoulder. He wears a string of beads around his neck and beads around his left ankle. The men and boys in the background wear brightly coloured wraps around their waists, or smaller cloths, and some wear shirts. 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.)
