xi, 275 pages, 168 photographs. Cloth cover. The significance and relevance of photography in British anthropology from about 1860 until 1920 and the pitfalls of interpreting old photographs of "native" subjects are examined in this volume from the Royal Anthropological Institute. Five substantial essays, followed by twenty shorter essays, discuss the more than 150 anthropological photographs of indigenous peoples from around the world taken from the Institute's archives. An absorbing study, illustrated with scores of photographs that are reproduced for the first time.
