Notes
In 1956 Frank Speed, at the forefront of the field of Cine-photomicrography in colour, was appointed as Chief Medical Photographer to Nigeria's first University at Ibadan, then a college of London University, where he set up a Medical Illustration Department with Doig Simmonds as the medical Artist. Many of these films have now become a unique record of past events in Nigeria and will be of interest to historians, anthropologists, doctors and all those who study the culture of Nigeria.
