Description: Black and white lantern slide featuring boys and young men sitting inside a thatched building with wooden roof supports, possibly in a school for boys run by the Calabar Mission. Some boys are bare chested, and others wear short sleeved shirts. One boy to the foreground of the picture is wearing a particularly ragged shirt. 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.)
