Summary edit

Description
English:
Bread Fruit Tree Ikorofiong, Calabar, Nigeria, ca. 1900-1910
Black and white lantern slide picturing a bread fruit tree with a fruit clearly visible in the foreground. The tree is in a courtyard of brick buildings with corrugated iron roofs, and men and boys stand below the tree. Other men can be seen entering a rear building. Missionary Zerub Baillie set up a mission station at Ikorofiong after the death of King Eyo of Creek Town in 1858. Ikorofiong was an Efik outpost on Ibibio land. The breadfruit tree is a member of the Moraceae (fig) family. 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.)
