Village Group and Missionary, Calabar, Nigeria, ca. 1930-1940

Tinted lantern slide showing a European missionary seated with a group of villagers. The majority of the villages are naked or wear loin-cloths, whilst the missionary wears a suit and straw hat. Two of the male villagers wear trousers, shirts and hats. An older man sits in the centre of the group and may be the village leader, or a senior member of the family or group shown. Large thatched dwellings can be seen as the background to the picture. 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.)

本着色玻璃幻灯片（tinted lantern slide）展示了一位欧洲传教士与一群村民围坐的场景。这群村民中的大多数赤身裸体，或仅围缠腰布（loin-cloths）；而这位传教士身着西装、头戴草帽。其中两名男性村民穿着长裤、衬衫并佩戴帽子。人群中央坐着一位年长男性，其身份可能为该村首领，或是本次出镜群体中的家族长辈或资深成员。画面背景可见多座茅草屋顶的大型居所。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）制作的一套关于尼日利亚东南部卡拉巴尔（Calabar）地区传教、文化与产业的系列幻灯片。
