Ethnographic photograph

This photograph was one of a large group of photo documentation of an early collector, possibly from William Louis Abbott, during his travels around Southeast Asia (between 1890-1910). Further evidences are found and recorded in the Raffles Museum Annual Reports from 1903-1907, indicating that Abbott had consistently donated a series of photo documentation of his trips to the museum. A similar batch of ethnographic photographs can be traced to the Smithsonian Institution, National Anthropological Archives. A larger group of Abbott's collection (including photos, letters to his mother and sister and artefacts) were also housed in the Smithsonian Institution.
