{"value"=>"<p>The postcard collections consist of images of various African, Caribbean, and South American peoples, as well as views of Moscow. Some of the postcards, as well as a group of greeting cards included here, are from friends and colleagues. The group of postcards that are not annotated were probably collected by the Herskovitses during field trips or other research work. These images document various African peoples, depicting an array of hair styles, body marking and body piercing, adornment, ceremonial and daily dress, dwellings, village life, wild animals, and landscapes. The majority of these unannotated postcards are part of a postcard series titled \"L'Afrique qui Disparait\" by photographer Casimir Ostoja Zagourski (ca. 1924-1941).</p>"}
