{"value"=>"<p>The General Series consists of views of art and architecture, field trips conducted by other anthropologists, and postcard collections. Art and architecture images depict antiquities, artifacts, and structures from different countries, primarily African. Included are photos of masks, busts, statues, and drawings, possibly from West Africa; views of modern buildings constructed in Rio de Janiero and Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1954; views of rock antiquities in Nigeria; and photos of miscellaneous European art work. Some art objects depicted may belong to the Herskovits Collection. Images gathered from other anthropologists include some single portraits, group portraits, and views of activities that were photographed by Katherine Dunham in Guadaloupe, Martinique, Trinidad, Jamaica, and the Virgin Islands. Also included are some views of Cuban ethnologist Fernando Ortiz, in Havana, giving a lecture on the subject of Afro-Cuban music (1938).</p>"}
