Rehfisch fieldwork photographs, Mambila, Cameroon, 1953-4

Introduction

The following links lead to the field photographs of Professor Farnham Rehfisch. They hve been very roughly sorted into functional categories, and some annotations have been made but these are only at the most basic level at this stage. It is hoped to increase the sophistication of the classification with time.

DZ September 1998 - July 1999

Some photographs were taken on the way to or on the way back from the field

Their location is not known - apart from the last few which are from the Mambila Plateau - these are possibly the first photos Farnham Rehfisch took in Cameroon
