Handwritten note about Australian Aboriginal people in mourning, Ashburton,
Western Australia.
This item is a torn handwritten note that was previously stuck to the reverse side of a photographic print depicting Australian Aboriginal people in the Ashburton region of Western Australia. A section of the note remains stuck to the photographic print (AA 276/2/4). The note is in Sanders' handwriting and was addressed to Norman Tindale.
It reads:
'Dear Mr Tindale, I do not know if the included photo will be of any interest to you. Natives in mourning, Ashburton District of NW Australia, 1904. I note a gun is in front of paper bark camp. Yours faithfully, WB Sanders'.
The note was written in 1951, when Sanders donated the photograph to the South Australian Museum.
