This is a 1914 Berlin photographic album of eighty colour photographs of German colonies, compiled by Willy Scheel from his own field photography and published by the Verlagsanstalt für Farbenphotographie C. Weller for a German readership. The pictures are hand-coloured autochrome-style views of tropical vegetation, villages with thatched huts, a forest track and a colonial street with whitewashed buildings and balconies, giving a designer muted, sun-faded greens, ochres and earth tones for documentary or period imagery.
