Porterage Katsina Nigeria Carrying Large Woven Basket Thatched Hut 1954 Photo
This is a silver gelatin photograph that is unmounted and is 5½ x 3¼ inches (137x84mm).
It shows a person viewed from behind, wearing a long white robe, carrying a very large woven basket on their head. They are standing in a village or compound with a thatched-roof hut on the left and a mud wall in the background. Another thatched roof and trees are visible in the distance.
The reverse has handwritten pencil text reading 'Portarage at Nigeria Katsina! 1954'.
This photograph comes from a privately curated collection assembled over more than fifty years by an experienced collector. The images were individually sourced from galleries, dealers, auctions, and other collections, with a consistent focus on strong composition, atmosphere, and historical interest.
Each photograph offered has been selected on its own merits from that wider collection. The result is a group of images that are both individually compelling and part of a coherent, carefully built body of work. For collectors, this offers an opportunity to acquire material selected by a discerning eye, whether to strengthen an existing collection or to begin a new one.
This collection is being dispersed in stages, with several hundred additional photographs being listed each month.
