Fantastic vintage South African image. The traditional Zulu wedding is called umabo. When a Zulu girl informs her father that she’s ready to get married, her father flies a flag to inform the public about her availability. Once the bride has found her prince, the negotiations for her cattle for lobola can begin.
A genuine vintage photogravure, printed in 1954. Archivally mounted on 100% acid-free board to 8" x 10", in a black wooden frame.
