God's black diamonds ; chats with boys and girls about their dusky kinsfolk in Africa
God's Black Diamonds is a 1919 London children's book by William James Ward, published by J. Johnson, presenting chats with young readers about African peoples for a Primitive Methodist audience. Its photographs show African groups in rural settings, including a line of people standing in a dusty field, a pair of figures in striped wrappers and white shirts, and a warrior with a tall feathered headdress, which a designer might use as reference for mid-century mission-era documentary styling and framing of group portraits against open landscape.
