Title	Portrait of church sweepster, Madras, India, ca. 1900-1920
Description	Photograph of a woman in tattered clothing standing outdoors holding a broom made of tree limbs tied together at the top. "The sweepster of my church. Now I am afraid you will that all our Christians are in the same way so I send you the sweepster of my church who is certainly not much of a beauty. You understand that these persons in feast dress belong to the well-to-do castes. Only on rare occasions do they wear all that jewelry."
