Im Hochland von Mittel-Kamerun ..
A 1914 ethnographic record of the Central Cameroon highlands by Franz Thorbecke, published in Hamburg by L. Friederichsen & Co. for a German readership interested in African peoples and material culture. The plates are photographs of carved wooden stools or headrests, a seated woman with a child, baskets of woven plant fiber, and a line of people at a market or gathering. A designer might take from them the tonal range of raw photographic prints, the sculptural silhouettes of the objects, and the basketry weave textures.
