Scenes of daily life of natives and a foreign missionary in Malawi, [s.d.]

Unknown

Description

Photo album of scenes of daily life of natives and a foreign missionary in Malawi, [s.d.]. Appeared to have been taken by a missionary, it has 66 images of the daily life of chiefs, slaves, men, women, children, iron workers, hunters, witch doctors and the missionary himself. Each page including the back of the front cover and the front of the back cover has three photographs, all in black and white. All photographs have captions in ink. It appears from the captions that most of the photographs were taken in Malawi which was then known Nysaland. It can be implied from the presence of a photograph of the grave site of Bishop MacKenzie (1825-1862) in an overgrown jungle that these photographs were not taken before 1862. It also includes a photograph of "Ngombi Sazi, Livingstone's personal friend". Some sections of this album have headings such as "A native industry: exceedingly ancient ironworkers", 'A Lakeshore industry of fishermen", "Native religion: the witch doctor", and "Missionary work". Its red cloth binding is faded and appears to be water damaged and soiled. Its spine is missing except for a small tail. Its cover has the title "Sweet memories".
