Image Title:
Morning meal

Note:
The scene depicted: “is common in the streets of Abbeokuta. This is the ordinary morning meal of the inhabitants—a sort of hot gruel, composed of Indian-corn meal, prepared by women whose business it is to sell it. She has dipped it out of the earthen pot with a wooden spoon, and is pouring it into a small calabash, the buyer paying a cowry or two in proportion to his wants and means.
