Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "The only known photograph of what is thought to be a Jangil communal hut, as taken in the 1890s on Rutland Island, probably by M.V. Portman.

The structure is remarkably similar to the Sentineli communal hut [...]. Portman never met more than a very few Jangil [...].

The figures barely discernible in the hut are Great Andamanese trackers that accompanied Portman on most of his excursions and that he used freely to pose as "Jarawas "and "Sentinelis "when the need arose for "realistic" photographs."
