Congoland : a book for young people

Smith, Kenred · 1920 · London : Carey Press · 18 pictures

Congoland is a 1920 London children's book published by the Carey Press, written by Kenred Smith as a mission-themed introduction for young readers. Its photographs are plain studio-style documentary images of Congolese people in group scenes, portraits and daily tasks, offering a designer a direct record of early twentieth-century missionary-era photography and its posed, formal composition.
