Black and white photograph printed onto a postcard showing four smartly dressed Nigerian young men, wearing trousers, jackets, shirts and ties. They are pictured outside a building made of stone blocks. The men are helpers at the leper colony run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society at Uzuakoli, in Abia state Nigeria. The caption to this photograph reads: "4 helpers (Non Lepers) at L.C Uzuakoli. Christmas 1932." This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital, also run by the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society.
