 RICE TERRACE AT BONAUE. By Otley  Beyer
10 1/4" x 13 1/4" toned gelatin silver print, probably by H. Otley Beyer. Removed from a frame, with a partial caption sheet on the backing paper mentioning Dr. Beyer and Bonaue. Beyer studied these Ifugau peoples from the high mountains of the Philippines, and wrote many studies of Philippine archaeology. Photograph probably 1920 or earlier, shows 3 Ifugau women carrying water for irrigation. Beyer himself married an indigenous girl, and devoted his career to the study of their culture. Slight 1 1/2" abrasion along very top edge at left, and 1" along right edge. [D3-]
