Other Information

LS.75549. to LS.75745. were found inside the wooden tray now numbered C360/.

The slides were accompanied by a list providing the number from each geographic area and at times the book from which the image was taken. See Bay N/Shelf3/Box1/.
There was also a note recording that the slides were removed from their original location to make room for Bateman prints.

Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being "Oceania Melanesia; ?Papua New Guinea", but based on the man's scarification the image more likely relates to Congo (cf LS.125667.TC1). The Place field has been amended accordingly. [JD 19/05/2017]
