Photo Album with recordings of Cameroon around 1899, diverse manufacturers, in or after 1899 Canvas Print
Photo album in red linen band with the word "Sammelalbum" in gold print on the front cover. The backband is decorated with a geometric motif, also in gold print. The album contains 28 sheets of red on cut and a total of 35 photos, of which 7 were found separately. Most have German-language captions. The recordings were made in Cameroon around 1899 when the country was partly colonized by the German Empire. They are studio portraits of local inhabitants of Cameroon, of government and district buildings and their surroundings, of commercial settlements, plantations with (presumably) German plantation owners or managers and of landscapes. The album may be associated with trading house C. Woermann, which has maintained trade relations with Cameroon since 1868 and had factories there. The term 'Kamerun' used in the captions may mean the current city of Duala, which until the beginning of the 20th century was called 'Kamerunstadt'.
