Afrique Equatoriale is a collection of works by Jean Desmet (1894-1966), a French author, journalist, and explorer. Born in Bordeaux, France, Desmet traveled the world from a young age, built his career as a journalist, and explored Africa and Asia in particular. His adventure novels based on his experiences became popular. Many of his works are written from the perspective of the French colonial period, and his masterpiece Le Maître de la Brousse (1932) is well known. This work was published in 1931, nearly 100 years ago, and is composed of photographs taken during his travels around Cameroon and Congo, which were French colonies at the time, focusing mainly on the local people, and text (in French). The photographs were taken by Rene Moreau. The book is particularly rich in photographs, and is filled with unique clothing and powders, as well as religion and culture.
