IN STRAITENED CIRCUMSTANCES
|
The woebegone expression is but transitory,
for an extraordinary vitality and a keen sense
of humour carry this bearded Moor through
life, happy though a pauper
|
SLAVE WOMAN OF THE BORDER
|
Women such as this are what the Galla
slave-hunters bring back when they raid
British territory — something sturdy and
negroid for heavy farm work
|
|
PROUD OF A QUAINT COIFFURE
|
Both sexes plait their hair in Zombo, northern
Angola, intricate patterns being achieved with
meticulous care upon their woolly heads
|
BLACK BEAUTY OF MONROVIA
|
Stylishly gowned and coiffured, this young
lady has charms exceptional among women
of Kru origin, who are usually very
unattractive physically and have lamentable
lack of taste in dress
