    Image from the Robert James Prentice personal collection. Four men watching a local man opening a coconut. Unknown. Handwritten on the reverse "A native boy is here opening a coconut which we had just picked. You will notice it is a buck party." This print and 2023-127.40 and 2023-127.42 all have the same handwriting on the reverse and are all the same format print. Therefore the location has been assumed.
