Au Congo : carnet de campagne ; episodes & impressions de 1889 à 1897

Michaux, Oscar · 1913 · Namur, Dupagne-Counet · 18 pictures

A 1913 French campaign notebook by Oscar Michaux, published in Namur by Dupagne-Counet, recording his Congo service from 1889 to 1897 for a Belgian colonial readership. The photographs are rotated sideways on the page; they show a hilly landscape with a wooden structure, a palm-shaded village with a flowering path, a stake fence beside a dirt road, and a river town skyline, offering a designer documentary views of early colonial Central Africa.
