Description

http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/283173
This photograph of a Betsimitsaraka family was taken on Nossi-Malaza, the Island of Delights on Lake Nossi-Be, a lagoon south of Tamatave. Charnay noted the warm welcome he received there, the lanky beauty of the women, and the general air of affluence. He described the women's braided hair and their graceful costume: a shoulder wrap, a shirt of silk or cotton, and a long printed skirt imported from India. The woman in the photograph wears such garments, indicative of her high status; her son, on the right, is simply wrapped in a lamba, or cotton shawl, while the young man on the left, wearing pants, shows the European influence.
