Dahomey et dépendances : historique général, organisation, administration, ethnographie, productions, agriculture, commerce
A French colonial-era study of Dahomey, now Benin, published in Paris in 1900 by A. Challamel and written by Louis Brunet and Louis Giethlen, covering history, administration, ethnography, and trade for a colonial and scholarly readership. Its photographs are plain studio portraits of seated and standing groups in wrapped cloths, beaded necklaces, and loincloths, with patterned textiles in stripes, checks, and small floral prints that a designer could draw on for pattern and textile reference.
