Related Archive: The cover page (proof copy) of a book “Specimens of Bushman Folklore” collected by the Late W.H.I. Bleek and L.C. Lloyd. Published by George Allen and company, London and two pages of photographs annotated in Haddon’s handwriting- “Stow- the native Races of S. Africa” were found with the set. See archive reference.

Photographer: Based on the handwriting on the print reverse it is probable that the photograph is part of the series by E. Sydney Hartland, P.48900.ACH2 - P.48911.ACH2. [JD 19/10/2009]
