Scope and Contents
This photograph is featured in Bengt Sundkler's book "Bantu Prophets in South Africa" (published by Lutterworth Press, London in 1948). There is a caption below the photograph that reads as follows: "Prophet With Mitre and Ram's Horn. Typical of the blend of Bantu religion and Christian ideas, to be found in certain Bantu churches. Dressed in blue vestments with the star of David, which symbol has a mysterious fascination for some prophets it has been revealed to them in dreams, they say."
There are no prints of this negative in the Constance Stuart Larrabee Collection. EEPA produced an 8x10 study print for reference purposes.
