Description
Portrait of two African women engaged in daily chores outside a native building. The women use baskets to agitate the flour to remove chaff. Two young males observe them in the background. Part of an album of photographs relating to the mission at Blantyre, which was established in 1876 in the Shire Highlands of Southern Nyasaland [Malawi] by Henry Henderson (1843-1891). The mission excelled in medical and education provision and encouraged the commercialisation of the area through opening trade routes and the cultivation of tobacco, and other cash crops.
