Card base with two black and white photographs attached, labelled with the pasted letters a and b. The number 338 is pasted in the lower left corner; the same can faintly be seen written in pencil and circled above this. "Mesopotamian boats K. Frost" is written in ink in the lower right corner. To the right of each image is a later annotation written in pencil, giving a bibliographic reference. Below the upper annotation is the word "unpublished??" written and crossed out in pencil. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Boats on the Tigris and Euphrates. (a) The Kufa boats at Bagdad are circular, are made of skins, and are broken up at their journey's end; exactly as noted by Herodotus (I, 194) in the fifth century B.C. b. A Shahtor boat on the Euphrates. The figure in the boat is K. T. Frost.” |
