Publication: Image reproduced in Reports I: Plate IX, fig. 2
This photograph shows Gizu, an elder, who appears in the genealogical tables (2). Gizu tells many of the ‘folk-lore’ stories in Reports V as well as drawing numerous illustrations throughout the volume. [J.Philp 6/2/1998, from P.707.ACH1 ID 1/3/2012]

Context: This type of photograph served the dual purpose of being a momento/studio portrait for the sitter and a record of the sitter for the physical anthropological and ethnographic work of the Expedition (Myers 1898). [J.Philp 6/2/1998, from P.707.ACH1 ID 1/3/2012]
