Background: The film-maker, Wilfrid D. Humbly (1886-1962), was the then Assistant Curator (later Curator) of African Ethnology at the Field Museum in Chicago and the leader of the Frederick H. Rawson – Field Museum expedition to Angola and Nigeria in 1929-30.
The main purpose of the expedition was to make a collection of artefacts and to take anthropometric measurements. At the same time, Hambly also took photographs and shot the material for this film.
