Black and white photograph printed on a postcard featuring a female missionary from the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society with a group of six infants at the Ama Achara hospital in southeast Nigeria run by the mission. A baby and a small child sit on a wooden bench. The missionary holds a small girl in a standing position, and two girls sit on a rug on the grass. The girls are probably orphans. This image comes from a photograph collection kept by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Methodist Hospital at Ama Achara from 1921 to 1944.
