Photograph of a group of African women seated outside a red brick building. Mrs Elmslie can be seen standing behind the group and in the foreground of the picture are a number of pots. These possibly contain food for a class teaching domestic skills. The houses in the town of Livingstonia are mostly constructed with red bricks. Walter Angus Elmslie (1856-1935) was the author of "Among the wild Ngoni, some chapters in the history of the Livingstonia mission in British Central Africa" (New York, 1899).
