- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Photograph probably by Tanner, possibly by William Robert Houghton. Oval image. Full-length standing portrait, with servant seated beside him. 'Gholam Ali, the subject of the photograph, may be considered the present recognized chief of the Jekranee tribe...Gholam Ali, when the photograph was taken, was about thirty-one years of age, of a fine commanding presence and dignified demeanour, and resided at Janadeyra, near Jacobabad, where he has an estate. His height is five feet nine inches; his complexion fair, with dark eyes. His dress is a white turban and clothes, with a handsome scarf of red and green silk. The chief is fully accoutred with matchlock, sword, and shield, and forms another specimen of the martial Belochees. The long wild locks of the attendant are frequently met with among the Belochees, and others of the Sind people. Some of them are curly and magnificent, but they give the wearers a very wild aspect.'
