The back strap is decorated with a geometrical pattern, as well as gold in pressure. The album contains 28 sheets red gash and a total of 35 pictures, where, from there 7 were found loose. Most of them 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 Governorate and district buildings and their environment, trade settlements, plantations (presumably) German plantation owners or managers and landscapes. Possibly the album may be associated with trading house C. Woermann which maintained since 1868 trade with Cameroon and had factories. Possibly the used phrase "Kamerun" current city Duala mentioned in the captions to the beginning of the 20th century 'Kamerunstadt' heette.
