Description:: Copy photograph of villagers from an unidentified Central African nation, with Anglo missionaries. Men, women and children are represented in the photo; men and boys are seated on the ground with the missionaries, while the women and girls stand. The women wear wrappers (textiles wrapped around their bodies), and head ties. The men wear caftans and head coverings. They sit across from an Anglo wearing a pith helmet, shirt, pants, and boots. Behind the men sits a second Anglo, also wearing a pith helmet, shirt, tie and pants (probably rolled up) with tall socks. He sits atop a loose pile of thatch. Further behind him, a woman peaks out from part of a woven thatch structure. The group is surrounded by trees and foliage.
