About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a person dressed in flowing robes, standing on a rocky hillside. They’re holding a tall staff with a rounded top in one hand and raising the other arm wide open, as if addressing someone. The background has rough cliffs and a narrow path below, giving a sense of height. The person’s costume looks like ancient Greek clothing, maybe for a play. This photo was taken in 1930 as part of a theater performance. If you like this, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more historical photos.
