Kruier uit Bailundo before 1886

"Kruier uit Bailundo" is a photograph by José Augusto da Cunha Moraes, created before 1886. The image depicts a man carrying a large bundle on his back, likely a "kruier" - a carrier, in the region of Bailundo, Angola. The photograph, measuring 166 mm in height and 98 mm in width, captures the subject in a naturalistic pose, highlighting the traditional practices and attire of the region. This work offers a glimpse into the lives and customs of the Bailundo people during the late 19th century, providing valuable documentation of colonial-era Angola.
