Der schwarze Dekameron, belege und aktenstücke über liebe
A 1910 German folklore book by ethnographer Leo Frobenius, published in Berlin by Vita, deutsches verlaghaus, and aimed at a general readership interested in African love stories and documents. The pictures are rotated photographs and drawings of village scenes, tree-shaded landscapes, and figures, with German captions in the margins. A designer might take the sepia-toned figure study and the dense, grainy outdoor photographs as models for ethnographic atmosphere, with heavy shadow and textured foliage.
