Curator's comments: This image depicts a piece of tapa cloth, which is presmuably in the collection of the Musée du Quai Branly, Paris (formerly known as the Trocadero). Mr Kenneth P Emory made studies of objects in museum collections in Paris, and this photograph may have been collected by him (hence the stamp). The photograph itself was photographed by a photographic printing studio "A Cintract" in Paris. The reasoning behind the Bernice P Bishop Museum stamp is as yet unknown.
