1960231931960. African press photo archive credited on the versos to Tomas D.W. Friedmann documenting images of anticolonial war apartheid labor urban growth and locals across Africa in 1970. These press photos translated events in Angola South Africa Nigeria and Tunisia into public facing articles for western audiences. At the time of production Angola was still fighting Portuguese colonial rule in 1970 while South Africa's mining economy and urban development remained bound to apartheid labor structures centered on Johannesburg and the Witwatersrand goldfields. Tomas D.W. Friedmann was a press photographer 1925-2012 traveled globally documenting Africaand its art. <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 9 silver gelatin photographs each 8" x 10" Africa circa 1960-1970. The archive belongs to the late colonial and apartheid era when American editorial photography often compressed Africa into legible news features of conflict labor ritual wildlife and into ethnic stereotypes for news splashes even as decolonization and liberation struggles were reshaping the continent.Verso labels identify specific scenes including "Nigeria: Kano / snake being charmed" "South Africa / Daggafontein gold miners pushing cart with ore underground" "Union of South Africa Johannesburg north-eastern section of town with sand-hills of the goldmines" "Tunisia: boy climbing palm tree and diving into Roman tanks below in which Gafsa boys swim" and two Angola captions describing "rebel held territory" where a patrol meets refugees in the bush and "early morning exercises at rebel army camp Serra de Canda deep inside rain forest." The group image depicts an Angolan rebel army that has been fighting liberation from Portugal since 1961. Another South Africa caption identifies a Durban whaling scene with Africans beginning to cut up a whale while one photograph of men and boys in furred ceremonial dress is marked in later handwriting "South Africa / Xhosa doctors." Light surface and edge wear minor curling otherwise clean and legible; overall very good condition. The group anchors itself in the historical upheaval of decolonization where armed resistance to Portuguese rule entrenched apartheid industry and postcolonial social change were being documented and mediated for western audiences. unknown
1929231561929. Rufino José dos Santos. Gaza e Inhambane documents how the Portuguese colonial state in Mozambique presented administrative order transport development mission activity and Indigenous labor in the late interwar period through an official photographic publication. Rather than functioning as a neutral regional survey the volume arranges Gaza and Inhambane as governable colonial territory pairing town halls administrators' residences markets rail construction mission schools clinics and vocational classrooms with captions that identify Africans as subjects of supervision instruction and improvement. In that respect the book records the visual language of Portuguese imperial rule in East Africa at a moment when colonial governments increasingly relied on photographic albums to publicize infrastructure settlement and social control.<br /> <br /> Rufino José dos Santos. Albuns Fotograficos e Descriptivos da Colonia de Mocambique. Volume V. Gaza e Inhambane: Aspectos Gerais / General Views of Gazaland and Inhambane / Vues Generale de Gaza et Inhambane. Hamburg: Broschek & Co.; representatives Stuben & Co. Album No. 5 Volume V 1929. Rope-bound photographic and descriptive album measuring 8.5" x 11". Printed wrappers with cover text in Portuguese English and French. The title page identifies the work as part of the official series Albuns Fotograficos e Descriptivos da Colonia de Mocambique. The opening text describes the Gaza region as an agricultural zone of fertile soil palm groves and port access then shifts into statistics and claims for development potential. The illustrated pages shown here are heavily weighted toward colonial institutions and works projects: "A Camara Municipal da Vila de Joao Belo" and the "Residencia do Administrador"; the "Mercado Municipal de Vila de Joao Belo"; "Construction Gang at work on the Gazaland Railway"; the old administrative post of Chindinguela and newly finished rondavels; street and commercial views of Chibuto; the Chibuto Mission School; the Malaiça Mission offering "Free Treatment to Natives"; and classroom scenes captioned as teaching Africans trades including sewing carpentry and wood-work.<br /> <br /> Issued in 1929 the album belongs to a period when European colonial regimes used photo books to convert occupation into an image of planned administration and economic progress. Edge wear creasing and rubbing to the printed wrappers; dampstaining affecting several leaves; chipping and small losses to some page edges; rope binding intact with expected wear; interior images and captions generally clear. Overall good condition. A well-preserved example of Portuguese colonial state photography in book form with concrete evidence of how Gaza and Inhambane were framed for a western audience through colonial administration missionization transport and managed Indigenous labor. unknown
