Summary

DescriptionGreat Andamanese - two men - 1875.jpg
English: "One of the earliest existing photographs of Great Andamanese known: two men of an unidentified northern tribe. The man on the left is wearing a traditional cincture decorated with shells . The other on the right is wearing a piece of imported cloth along with more traditional strings - and this only 7 years after the British had set up shop in the Andamans at a time when only very few northern Great Andamanese had had any direct contact with the outsiders yet."
