Tinted lantern slide of a group with men, a woman and children, possibly an Efik family. A man sits at the centre of a picture on a chair, implying seniority. He wears a fedora style hat, a shirt, beads around his neck and a shirt. He holds a long stick which may have been used as a cane. Another man wearing a shirt stands behind him, and three boys stand next to him, one in a brightly coloured wrap tied around his waist, and the two younger boys in smaller loin-cloths. A woman stands to the right, wearing a bright, short wrap around her waist. The group stands in front of a thatched dwelling. 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.)
