The present albums document various travel locations in East Africa, featuring striking images of indigenous communities - including the Kikuyu, Maasai, and others - alongside hunting scenes, landscapes, village life, and glimpses of European colonial presence, particularly in Dar es Salaam. – Some photos curled in edges, some with small tears, otherwise most in good to very good condition.
