Black and white photograph showing a Nigerian woman with a group of Nigerian girls of various ages. Some girls wear smock dresses, whilst the younger girls are bare-chested. The caption to the photograph reads: "The first Idoma sewing class." The Idoma people are an ethnic group based in eastern Nigeria, closely related to the Igbo people. This image comes from a photograph collection kept by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Methodist Hospital at Ama Achara, southeast Nigeria, from 1921 to 1944.
