i'd hope that maurice has a copy minus the horror of the 'white hand', so we can see who/what was under it.

in the early days of the last century, the sigil of the "white hand" was placed on photographs to indicate targets of this despicable terrorist organization. this is it's earliest know use. victims were forced to wear clown suits, makeup, and big oversized shoes as well as the tell-tale giant white gloves on their hands. no one was safe from their depredations, be they european or indigenous. this photo seems to have designated three male figures sadly hidden by the hand.
in spite of all efforts to eradicate it, the organization still exists and has recently been designating the inhabitant of another white house for the treatment.
