Le plateau central Nigâerien: une mission archâeologique et ethnographique au Soudan franðcais
A 1907 French ethnographic and archaeological survey of the central Niger plateau in French Sudan, written by Louis Desplagnes and published in Paris by Larose for an anthropological readership. Its photographs show West African people at daily work, mud-brick architecture and open village squares, which a designer could use for studies of vernacular building forms, textures of earthen walls and traditional dress.
