Description: A very strong image of this young African tribesman, who holds the flintlock rifle over his shoulder pointing downward. His wild feather headress and immense amount of jewelry seem to indicate that he has some importance. The low-lying huts in the background may also give a clue as to where exactly he comes from. With a two part "Agfa-Brovira" logo on the verso from the mid-1930s. Shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania and New York buyers must pay appropriate sales tax. International clients are responsible for their VAT and other custom's oriented charges.
