Abstract:
Elizabeth "Betty" von Fürer-Haimendorf sits among a crowd of curious Apatanis on the first day of her arrival in the Apatani valley, with her husband, Christoph. She holds Chunki, the black cat that she and her husband took with them on their extensive travels in this then-isolated region. The man on the right is Koj Karu, one of the Apatani men who had accompanied and guided Betty and Christoph from Assam to the valley. ( en )

General Note:
Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) was born and educated in Vienna, gaining a PhD in anthropology from the University of Vienna in 1931. A grant from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled him to study at the London School of Economics, under the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. In 1936, he went to the Naga Hills in northeast India for his first fieldwork; over the next four decades, he worked extensively in south & central India, northeast India and Nepal. In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Anthropology at SOAS, where he established the Department of Anthropology. During his career, he published seventeen books, most of them ethnographies of tribal cultures. He was President of the Royal Anthropological Institute (1975-77) and a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology.
