Le Congo belge : initiation à la colonisation nationale
Le Congo belge: initiation à la colonisation nationale is a 1909 travel and colonial-policy book published in Brussels by A. De Boeck, written by Jean Bertrand to introduce Belgian readers to the Congo. The photographs show forest paths, a lone figure among scrub trees, a thatched village hut with seated people, and a rocky river with white water, shot in plain documentary style with soft tonal grey and dense foliage that a designer could draw on for tropical textures and natural landscape backgrounds.
