The Nono, wife, and grandaughter [sic] [at Kuling]. Photographer: Egerton, Philip Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Full-length standing portrait of the group: 'On the 25th [of August] we marched to Kuling, the Nono's residence...When the sun had set behind the mountains, I asked the Nono to sit for his portrait, with his wife and unmarried daughter, and got the annexed picture...When I had finished the picture I invited the little girl to come to my tent with the Nono's youngest son (a Lâmba, of course) to receive a present I intended for them. 'Oh,' said the Nono, 'I will send a bigger one,' and a great bouncing girl of eighteen or twenty made her appearance; and it then came out that the little girl in the picture was not the daughter, but a grand-daughter, the former having pretended to be bashful on the occasion...Next morning this young lady consented to sit for her portrait, which is here shown [see print 35].' (pp. 57-58).
