Dance at Mankon, 1937-12
Scope and Contents
62 x 40 mm. The Fies on either side of the chief were so elated that they kept up an incessant gunfire with their native blunder-busses. Here they are seen shooting and reloading and in the midst of the smoke the chief can just be seen. They are all flintlock guns and much laughter greeted the fies as often they would prance forward towards the centre of the ground with great show, kneel down and press the trigger only to be rewarded with a faint 'click' as the gun misfired with damp powder.
