Scope and Contents

The caption on the album page continues: 'They have the most astonishing hair, which is bleached to a pale ginger colour. This they do by putting on a mud pack for a few weeks, which is soaked with cows urine. The most extraordinary part is that they manage to get the crinkles out of their hair'.
