Im Hochland von Mittel-Kamerun ..
A 1914 Hamburg photographic record by Franz Thorbecke of the Central Cameroon highlands, published by L. Friederichsen & Co. and filed under ethnology. Its plates are landscape photographs of savanna grassland, flat plains and distant hills, with German captions printed along the margins. A designer could draw on their hazy, tonal layering of grass, scrub and horizon as a model for atmospheric depth in natural scenes.
