- Description:
- Four people on large rocks in a running river, pull a long narrow wooden boat upstream, away from the camera. The boat extends from the center of the frame to beyond the bottom right corner, and several mats, hats, and boxes are in it. The people are barefoot, dressed for warm weather, and actively hauling the boat by hand. The river curves from the upper left down toward the camera, water pooling and churning the right of the boat. Grasses and leafy plants are growing up the riverbanks and dangling into the frame from above.
- Notes:
- Gelatin silver print stamped with Morrison's copyright stamp.
Morrison's collection includes many prints of the Sarawak people and their traditions during two decades of work. - Cite As:
