Tinted lantern slide showing a large congregation of men, women and children before a church building in an unnamed Calabar village. Women and girls cover their heads, and all are smartly dressed: women and girls wear dresses and cloth head-dresses (gele), and men wear shirts with trousers or wraps around their waists. Two men to the right hold open bibles. 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.)
