Striking early 20th-century color photographs from the African colonies of the German Empire
In the summer of 2014, I worked on a library cataloging and itemization project at the National Museum of African Art in the Warren M. Robbins Library. This museum has a wonderful ambiance—even during the high summer with its heat waves and crowds. African Art’s three subterranean levels under the Enid Haupt Garden provide a tranquil retreat with outstanding artwork and an oasis-like central fountain.
