Im Hochland von Mittel-Kamerun ..

Thorbecke, Franz, 1875-1945 · 1914 · Hamburg, L. Friederichsen & co. · 16 pictures

A 1914 German ethnological account of the Central Cameroon highlands, published in Hamburg by L. Friederichsen & Co. and written by the ethnographer Franz Thorbecke for a scholarly readership. Its photographs of thatched dwellings, village clearings and figures in open ground are plain documentary views, useful to a designer seeking African village architecture or rural settlement textures with a sepia, early photographic tone.
