General

"Austin magazine" label attached, dated 5/3/1938

Inscribed: 'copyright photograph by Nigeria magazine' stamp (type 1); in ink: "(9)"; typed label with text: "A bamboo growing in the grounds of the old Government College at Kaduna. This is an uncommon variety with delicate foliage and mode of growth. Some of the non clump forming rhizome spreading bamboos that grow in China are far more useful for constructional purposes than the clump varieties found in Nigeria. If such forms could be introduced the art of bamboo work might well be developed. In Nigeria it is an art that is unknown except in a very elementary form"; in black pencil: "4428"
