Black and white photograph of a Nigerian mother holding a baby in a missionary compound run by the Methodist Missionary Society. Her daughter stands next to her. A group of young women and girls stands in the shade of a thatch roof in the background, wearing identical dresses supplied by the mission. The caption to this photograph reads: "Miss Brazier's compound, June 1936." Miss Brazier was a missionary for the Methodist Missionary Society based in the Umuahia area of Nigeria, in charge of evangelistic work. 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 Methodist Missionary Society.
