Note
The imprint and card format are identical to those of a photograph of Jacob Nijn taken on May 23, 1871, reprinted in
Andrew Bank’s Bushmen in a Victorian World (Cape Town, 2006, p. 119, Figs 4.11 and 4.12). If negative numbers
are recorded on the Nijn and //Kabbo portraits and they are close to Neg. #8498 it would confirm that Bleek also had
his portrait taken when he, Jacob Nijn and //Kabbo entered Samuel Baylis Barnard’s studio at 37 Adderley Street
that day in May 1871.
