Pokot Kenya Woman Ceremony Headwear 9x7 Vintage African Press Photo

CHAU4373 This is an original and official 9" x 7" personally taken vintage press photo from David Keith Jones of a local Pokot woman wearing headwear for a Sabana dance celebrating the initial of a new set of men (linked with circumcision) .  David Keith Jones (1933-2022) will always be remembered as one of the most historic photographers of kind. His deep love of travel, history, Africa and wildlife led him and his wife Carla all over Africa & the world, their travels documented by the amazing photos he took from his travels.  In 1968, he went to Kenya and started publishing photographs and articles where he taught physics for many years. Later he became a fulltime photographer & writer, and was editor of the East African wildlife society magazine 'Swara'. This photo is part of his privately sold collection and reverse has his hand frank for lifetime COA authenticity (see image 2). I believe it is David's handwriting on reverse too detailing the ceremony . It is a one off opportunity and is truly outstanding condition.  Please see all my other African photographs from the same estate of David Keith Jones all listed at my store.
