Description: Tinted lantern slide showing two European missionaries and three Calabar men standing in front of a car on a new road to Elu, in the Ohafia area. One missionary is male, whilst his companion is female. Ohafia is an Igbo district, and its ancestral capital is Elu village. The Ohafia people have a strong warrior tradition, central to their sense of identity. 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.)
