Well, do you?

The UFDC houses ten volumes of these Photographic and Descriptive Albums of Portuguese East Africa, published in Germany in 1929.

My selection unintentionally but perfectly illustrates the wikipedia page for Portuguese East Africa/Mozambique.

I think the photochrome-like quality of the images makes me keep staring at them.















"Provincial Museum: The entrance hall" aka the Glowing Cthulhu Entrance







"The Electric Trams of the town"
(that kid looks lost)







"The Drawing of the Provincial Lottery in the Town Hall"



















"Spectators at a Turf Club Meeting"







"A Marabou in the Garden"







"Cattle-breeding in the District: The Stable in Mailana"







"Macequece: The "Trinidade" Bridge across the superb Munene River"







I love the odd layout here







"View of the Rua Consiglieri Pedroso"







"The avenue"

















































"A scene at the Turf Club Ground during a Sport Meeting with thousands of onlookers"
