"FANTEE WOMAN." FANTE PEOPLES, GHANA. MORE THAN ANY OTHER HISTORICAL PHOTOGRAPHIC PRODUCT DEPICTING NON-WESTERN PEOPLES AND PLACES, THE POSTCARD REFLECTS AND ENFORCES THE PREOCCUPATIONS OF ITS CREATORS AND VIEWERS. ALTHOUGH THIS POSTCARD SEEMS INNOCENT AND LESS STEREOTYPICAL THAN OTHERS, THE POSE OF THE WOMAN AND THE MONOCHROME BACKDROP ARE REMINISCENT OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL PHOTOGRAPHY OF PHYSICAL TYPES. IT THUS BELONGS TO THE GENRE OF TAXONOMIC REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD PHOTOGRAPH: W. S. JOHNSTON, CA 1900.

Greetings aziza!

Very beautiful images indeed. As a matter of fact I have links to some of the artwork carvings, sculptures etc. dealing with spirituality as well.

I may have to add me and my prince to the collection as well...

Peace!
