Waiting at mud holes to catch barbel , 1945
Scope and Contents
A collection of numbered prints, unless otherwise stated measuring circa 210 x 160 mm, in a 19 page typescript volume entitled 'Barotseland', written and illustrated by Max Gluckman. His typescript is undated but the illustrations closely resemble, and in some cases are identical with, those used in Gluckman (1945) of which a photocopy is filed with this collection. It is not known how these photographs were used - perhaps projected by epidiascope. Numbers 1-54 are captioned on the back, but the captions below are derived from this source and from Gluckman (1945).
The subjects fall into broad categories:
1-4 Transport
5-16 Villages and dwellings
17-27 Cultivation
28-52 Fishing
53-69 Crafts
70-71 Sawmill
72-74 Cereals
75-93 The people, including administration and ceremonies
