Tinted lantern slide featuring a group of Calabar men, women and children. Three men wearing wraps around their waist stand at the front of the picture watched by a crowd. The men appear to have leaves on their heads and around their shoulders. This could be part of an Igbo masquerade. 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.)
