À travers le Congo belge; récit de voyage de Banana au Katanga
This 1909 French travel account by René Dubreucq, published in Brussels by L'Expansion Belge, describes a journey from Banana to Katanga in the Belgian Congo, written for a Francophone readership interested in colonial travel. Its photographs show a thatched wooden hut on stilts, a small steam locomotive with carriages on a clearing, a palm-lined dirt road, and a crowded market yard with seated vendors and porters; a designer might draw on their stark tropical contrasts of thatch, rail and dust.
