Le Congo illustré
Le Congo illustré is a Brussels periodical of 1891 covering the exploration and ethnology of the Congo, printed for a general readership interested in colonial affairs. Its photographic plates show a temporary wooden trestle bridge over a ravine, a riverside port with a stern-wheel steamer and figures on the bank, and dense forest along a cut earth road, offering a designer rough timber structures, river craft and tropical vegetation as period documentary reference.
