Palm Oil, Calabar, Nigeria, ca. 1930-1940

Tinted lantern slide featuring a scene at a docking point on the Cross River, Calabar. Stands with thatched and corrugated iron roofs shelter wooden barrels of palm oil awaiting canoe transport down the Cross River to the coast. Workers can be seen in the image, and a dog sits in front of the thatched shelter. Palm oil was and is one of the largest exports of the Calabar state. 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.)本着色幻灯幻灯片（tinted lantern slide）展现了尼日利亚东南部卡拉巴尔（Calabar）克罗斯河（Cross River）一处码头的场景。覆有茅草与波纹铁皮屋顶的棚屋，遮蔽着待通过独木舟沿克罗斯河转运至沿海地区的桶装棕榈油。画面中可见作业工人，一只狗正蹲坐在茅草棚前。棕榈油既是历史上也是当下卡拉巴尔州最主要的出口商品之一。本幻灯片出自苏格兰教会（Church of Scotland）与苏格兰联合自由教会（United Free Church of Scotland，该教会于1929年并入苏格兰教会）制作的卡拉巴尔地区传教、文化与工业主题幻灯集。
