Photo album with recordings of Cameroon around 1899, various manufacturers, in or after 1899 photograph. scrapbook Photo album in red linen band with the word "sammelalbum" in gold pressure on the frontplat. The back band is decorated with a geometric motif, also in gold pressure. The album contains 28 sheets red on cut and a total of 35 photos, 7 of which were found separately. The majority have German -speaking 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 residents of Cameroon, from government and district buildings and their environment, of trade settlements, plantations with (presumably) German plantation owners or managers and landscapes. The album may be associated with Handelshuis C. Woermann, which had been maintaining commercial relations with Cameroon since 1868 and had factories. The designation 'Kamerun' used in the captions means the current city of Duala, which was called 'Kamerunstadt' until the beginning of the 20th century.
