Description
It was not long ago that photographs were gathering dust in the museums and archives of this world. Historical sources were understood to be the written word! Only in recent years have pictures begun to be perceived as historical sources, judged not only by their photographic quality as works of art, but as "historical documents", as expressions of the "spirit of the times". The illustrated book is based on a historical chronology. It begins with a photo of Hermann Röhlig before his departure for South West Africa in 1889 and ends with one of the last shipments of captured Germans back home in 1919, after their release from the Aus prison camp.
In between, we find photos of soldiers, non-commissioned officers as well as officers who often also played protagonists in the publisher's own literature. We find photos of the chiefs of various tribes in the country, views of places and landscapes of the arid south of Namibia, the bush savannah of the central regions but also the lush bush with its macalani palms of the north. Certainly not a book to be simply leafed through, on closer inspection the medium of the photograph offers a lot of information, it is worthwhile to "study" the photos.
