Image description

Marking on reverse: 'This woman is a chosen bride and in the photo has become such, and is wearing her dancing costume. Note the sunshade on left. She is one of these people who apparently are put into a so-called 'college' to be fattened up and here is where she has just left and become the bride. Certain tribes like their wives fat and Forty!!!!. Ain't she lovely - sweet?'.
