Notes
- Abstract:
- Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf and his wife, Betty, lived in this traditional house during their first stay in the Apatani valley, for nine weeks until late May 1944 : Betty is standing on the porch, apparently talking to a woman standing below : apatanis live in nuclear families, narrow houses approx : 12 x 4 metres, and compact villages in order to use every square metre of land for wet-rice agriculture : Houses are built using hardwood poles and posts, bamboo floors and railings, and walls of flattened bamboo : Roofs consisted of paddy thatch over flattened bamboo : thatch for the roof was abandoned by the 1970s, and since the 1990s aluminium sheeting has been preferred : another change is that houses are now only 1 metre above ground, while in the 1940s they were raised up higher : Wooden or concrete steps have been substituted for the notched wooden board leading to the front porch : In other essentials, however, Apatani houses today look like that seen in this photograph.

- 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.
