Lemaire, Charles, 1863-1925 or 6 · 1902 · Bruxelles : Ch. Bulens · 15 pictures

This is a French travel journal from 1902 by Charles Lemaire, published in Brussels by Ch. Bulens, recording a scientific mission in the Katanga region of Congo. Its pictures are plain photographs and sketches of African villages, thatched huts, a seated group of men, and a mission station with whitewashed buildings, useful to a designer wanting raw, documentary textures of colonial-era architecture and landscape.
