005946Cette photographie est un tirage original de l'époque pour Georges Specht, photographe de la deuxième expédition Citroën dite la Croisière Noire, qui se déroula en 1924-1925. Il provient directement des héritiers. C'est un tirage argentique en très bel état. Le numéro indiqué correspond au numéro d'ordre dans la prise des photos. Plus de 3800 photos furent prises lors de l'expédition (voir le fonds Haardt conservé au Musée du Quai Branly). N°2253bis - Rivière N'Barra - 28 février 1925 Photographie : 117*168mm Carton : 200*250mm Le titre complet à l'encre est : « Une rivière de la Forêt Equatoriale : la n'Bana (Oubangui-Chari) ». On voit encore une différence entre le titre indiqué par Specht et le titre dans le fonds Haardt. La rivière n'Barra étant devenue n'Bana. Ici, on ne voit que la rivière et un autochtone sur sa pirogue.
