3 photograph albums from 1935-1936 with views and people in and around KATSINA, Nigeria. Presumably taken by an English missionary posted there partly to oversee some building projects. The first album started with approx. 12 photographs of England before departure by ship to Africa, followed by some of life as a passenger on board the ship, followed by arrival in port in Nigeria. The bulk of the images then relate to daily life in Katsina and its environs, with some emphasis on building projects, and much related to daily village life in the region. KATSINA (local government area and the capital city of Katsina State, in northern Nigeria, located around 260 kilometres (160 mi) east of the city of Sokoto and 135 kilometres (84 mi) northwest of Kano, t-bra185a1BRA 185close to the border with Niger Republic).
