Description
Black and white lantern slide showing a Nyasaland couple with a small child, carried in a sling on the mother's back. The woman carries a slaughtered chicken and stands next to a bag with groceries. Her husband, wearing a cotton wrap around his waist, is standing by a container with a metal object on it, which could be a small cage inside which is a live bird. This slide comes from a set on the activities of the King’s African Rifles battalions in Nyasaland. It was originally held by the Church of Scotland, and generated by J.W MacKay.
