Description
Coloured lantern slide showing wooden barrels of palm oil awaiting transportation for export. Wooden frames enclosing what appear to be kernel shells are in the foreground, and a large sieve (used to extract oil from kernels) stands against one of the barrels. 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.)
