Prince Roland Bonaparte (1858-1924) was the grandson of Lucien Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother. He was one of the earliest anthropologists to successfully employ photography. The photographs for the present work were taken at the Amsterdam Colonial Exhibition in 1883. The color lithographs show colorful Indian headdresses, some jewelry, vases and a drum.
