Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label on verso, BC: 4/62 25) BASKETS FOR BONNETS: Parisians may wear such styles this \ spring in order to attract attention, but these strolling \ flutists from Nara (Japan) have the opposite urge. By \ tradition they hide their faces, for they are also beggers \ who pass the cup after a performance. \ Credit: Bart Glinn [strikethrough] © 1962 MAGNUM PHOTOS
