Architecture: The village farm house with their wooden window and shingles. The mud brick wall keeps the animals entering the courtyard of the house. The valley is surrounded with thick pine forest, which is typical in Ha region. This village is most probably Hatey. [Dawa Dem 23/9/2008]

The transcription of this album by Mark Turin and Sara Shneiderman was carried out with reference to Krystina Cech’s catalogue list alone. Alex Nadin has since revised their cataloguing by systematically matching their records to the images. Margaret Williamson’s handwritten captions for photographs have now been transcribed into the Inscription field, and Cech’s descriptions appear in the Description field. Correct entries for Place, Named Person and Other Nos. have also been entered by Alex Nadin. [Sudeshna Guha 29/10/2002]
