Basuto girl. Port Elizabeth, 1911.

Gelatin silver print photograph, 220 x 170 mm, on its original card mount (300 x 250 cm); photographer’s manuscript caption in lower margin ‘Basutu [sic] girl: taken at Port Elizabeth / June 1911’; print and mount are both in excellent condition.

This lovely portrait study came from a small archive of photographs by an unidentified Australian amateur photographer who visited South Africa and Rhodesia in 1911.
