Legend
Hutereau collected a staggering 10,224 ethnographic objects during his expedition. The photographs tried to capture the original context in which the objects were made or used. ‘Pre-colonial’ Congo was mainly documented. Here you can see how fire was made the ‘traditional’ way, even though European matches were already widespread at the time.
Original legend
Indigènes faisant du feu.
