In Wembo-Nyama's land, a story of the thrilling experiences in establishing the Methodist mission among the Atetela

Reeve, Thomas Ellis · 1921 · Nashville, Tenn., Dallas, Tex. [etc.] Publishing house of the M.E. church, South · 9 pictures

A 1921 mission narrative published by the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in Nashville and Dallas, written by Thomas Ellis Reeve about founding a Methodist mission among the Atetela people in the Congo, aimed at a church readership. Its photographs are plain black-and-white documentary prints, many arranged as stacked rectangular groupings with numbered captions, showing mission buildings, travel, and portraits of people; a designer might take their grid-like layout of framed photos and their tight, sober documentary framing as a model for historical collage.
