Sports at L.C, pillow fight, Nigeria, 1932

Black and white photograph showing a pillow fight played at the leper colony run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society in Uzuakoli, southeast Nigeria. Two men sit on a pole across a shallow pool of water holding pillows, ready to start. Three missionaries stand at the side of the fight, and a group of Nigerian men, women and children stand around to watch. This photograph was taken at the Christmas celebrations at the leper colony in 1932, and the caption next to the image reads: "Sports at L.C - Pillow fight, Xmas 1932." This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, also run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society.

本张黑白照片记录了一场枕头大战，场景位于尼日利亚东南部乌祖阿科利（Uzuakoli）由原始卫理公会传教团（Primitive Methodist Missionary Society）运营的麻风病隔离区内。两名男子正坐在横跨浅水池的木杆之上，手持枕头，静待比赛开始。三名传教士立于赛场侧边，另有一众尼日利亚男女老少围聚观赛。该照片拍摄于1932年该麻风病隔离区的圣诞庆祝活动，照片旁的标注文字为："Sports at L.C - Pillow fight, Xmas 1932."。此照片被粘贴入埃米莉·戈弗雷（Emily Godfrey）所制作的系列练习簿相册之一，她时任同样由原始卫理公会传教团运营的阿玛阿查拉卫理公会医院（Ama Achara Methodist Hospital）护士长。
