Description

This series comprises one black and white (b/w) photographic print, possibly taken by Ernest E Kramer (see AA 669). The photograph depictss women outside a hut constructed of boughs. It appears that this photograph may belong to the 'North Tour' sequence. The print is mounted on paper and stored in a binder titled 'AA 1 Aborigines' Friends' Association (AFA) Photographic Prints, Album 3 of 4'.

South Australian Museum archivist Kay L Mead described this series in 1980. In her listing she recorded a caption for this series but the exact source of the caption is not known. This caption has been retained as the 'Series Title' and has been listed in the 'Details' field of the inventory along with all annotations found on the print. Part of the annotations are missing where the mounting paper is torn but the remnants of the writing appear to spell 'Tennants [Tennant] Creek'. All place names and proper names from the annotations and caption have been indexed.

The series was part of Acc. No. 86.

This series contains references to: Northern Territory.
