Image: Sechele Gustav Fritsch 1865

Description: Sechele, chief of the Kwena tribe of Botswana and early Christian missionary. According to Keith Dietrich and Andrew Bank in An eloquent picture gallery : the South African portrait photographs of Gustav Theodor Fritsch, 1863 - 1865 (2008): "Sechele was happy to be photographed and dressed himself for the occasion in a black ‘dress’ with a colourful silk cravat, ‘fez’, ‘mackintosh’ and riding boots, which, Fritsch noted, he wore on Sundays when he preached. Fritsch gave Sechele an albumen print of his portrait that included the fez, though the photograph used for his book excluded this. Fritsch also recalled that Sechele was very disappointed that the photograph did not include his boots".

Album 13 contains 126 full-negative reprints of Fritsch’s South African photographs that formed part of Carl Dammann’s Anthropologisch-ethnologisches Album in Photographien herausgegeben mit Unterstützung aus der Sammlung der Berliner Anthropologischen Gesellschaft (1874)".
