The Nanticoke community of Delaware
A 1915 ethnographic monograph by anthropologist Frank Gouldsmith Speck, published in New York by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, documenting the Nanticoke community of Delaware for an academic readership. Its photographs are plain, unposed studio-like portraits of community members, mostly children, women and older men, shot against pale backgrounds in sepia-toned halftone; a designer might borrow their direct frontal gazes, close cropping and grid-of-portraits layout for documentary or archival projects.
