Ndebele Child at Wooden Gate, 1936-1949. Nailed to the front gate is a license sign reading "167 Pretoria." The child has her hands on the gate and is wearing beaded bracelets. Photograph by Constance Stuart Larrabee, 1936-1949.
There is one 8x10 black and white fiber-based print and one 18x19 cm. black and white vintage print of this negative in the Constance Stuart Larrabee Collection. The caption on the back reads as follows: "25. These Ndebele people absorb all things into their designs. This license sign picked up on the road has been nailed up to their front gate. Their village is within 10 miles of Pretoria, the administrative capital of S. Africa." EEPA produced an 8x10 study print for reference purposes.
