Les Baluba (Congo Belge)

Colle, Pierre, Overbergh, Cyrille van · 1913 · Bruxelles, A. Dewit [etc.] · 14 pictures

Les Baluba (Congo Belge) is a 1913 ethnographic study published in Brussels by A. Dewit, written by Pierre Colle and Cyrille van Overbergh about the Luba people of the Belgian Congo. The plates are photographs of carved figures, staffs, bowls, pendants and horn objects, numbered for reference, and a designer might draw on their sculptural forms, repeated arrangements and sepia-toned museum-plate layouts.
