The Nono, wife, and daughter [at Kuling]. Photographer: Egerton, Philip Henry
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Full-length portrait of the three figures, the Nono standing, his wife and daughter seated on the carpet on either side of him. Egerton's earlier group of the Nono's family (print 34) had been taken under the impression that the young girl was the daughter: 'When I had finished the picture [print 34], I invited the little girl to come to my tent with the Nono's youngest son...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 the grand-daughter, the former having pretended tobe bashful on the occasion. The bashfulness, however, was quite over now, and she came down with her brother to my tent, where I selected a looking-glass, an ivory comb, and a pair of scissors for her...Next morning this young lady consented to sit for her portrait, which is here shown.' (Egerton p. 58).
