Description
Portrait image of a Malembe princess. The image is accompanied by a description of Malembe women's dress, an approximate translation of which reads as follows: "The dress of the women is less grand; they do not wear bonnets . . . and their drawers never touch the ground, but they cover themselves with a great quantities of . . . glass beads whose color differs from those worn by Europeans. . . . They cover their neck with a small scarf, as seen in the engraving, and like the men, they are very fond of coral red." (p. 74-75)
