Other Information

The print was found in envelope now marked C157/2/3/. This envelope was found in drawer 2 of the green cabinet. The entire cabinet was previously numbered as “batch 143” and is now re-numbered C157/ by the transcriber.

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being “Africa; ?South Africa”, but the envelope is annotated as ‘Dinkas’, which are a cultural group of Sudan. However, based on the image content, the print appears to be from a series on the Congo. The Place field has been amended accordingly. [JD 14/10/2009]
