Anthropological type photograph: photograph of a man standing in a stiff posture in front of a cloth and next to a measuring rod. His arms are close to his body and he is dressed in a hip scarf. What is special about this photograph is that the person depicted is not anonymous, but that the collector Riebeck has documented details of name, age, origin, etc.
