Scope and Contents
Sotho Man, 1941. Photographic image of a man wearing a hat and blanket. There is a woman sitting next to her that is partially in the image. The blankets are woven in England with traditional designs, which were probably imported and sold to the early Lesotho people by some wandering trader. However by this time Lesotho people were buying blankets at the trading stores scattered throughout the area. The hat is woven from grass by the Lesotho people. Photograph by Constance Stuart Larrabee, 1941.
There are no prints of this negative in the Constance Stuart Larrabee Collection. EEPA produced an 8x10 study print for reference purposes.
