- 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.

- General Note:
- Apatani woman is weaving in Talo, a Nyishi village only 10 kilometres and four hours walk from the Apatani valley : She wears the large hoop earrings, set of necklaces, coarse skirt and shawl that were common at the time : Her wooden plugs in her nostrils and facial tattoos were also traditional, until the 1970s : apatani women often spent several weeks in nearby Nyishi settlements, where they wove textiles for their hosts in return for raw cotton, which they took back to the Apatani valley for weaving there : Nyishis cultivated cotton, and Apatanis were the better weavers : Backstrap weaving is the traditional method among Apatanis and is still practised : Usually the frame is secured by tying it to a house porch or similar fixed structure, : Here, however, the frame has been fixed to bamboo pieces that are driven into the ground : this backstrap limits the width of any single woven piece, so that wide garments, such as shawls and skirts, required two or three pieces sewn together.
