An upper body portrait of a man turning to face the camera, wearing a textile body cloth and carrying a herding stick. He is described as a man of western Nuerland where Evans-Pritchard spent around 7 weeks in 1936, mostly in the Leek Karlual village of Nyueny, where this film number suggests the image was taken.

Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard

Notes:

There would seem to be two Rolleiflex films identified as no. 6 in the Nuer series, which I have identified based upon differences in the handwritten style of enumerating the number 6 on the print reverses, as well as on visual content. [CM 26/10/2007]
