Photographs by Africans, of Africans, and of African arts in and out of context will come to receive the fuller attention they deserve (Cole and Ross 1985a:28).In the late nineteenth and throughout the twentieth centuries, the repositioning of photographs as art rather than as documents relying on mechanical reproduction coincided with t…

  Several photographs taken by German and other European photographers in Cameroon during the German colonial period (1884–1915) became very popular with the German public. One of these images shows King Njoya, the ruler of the Bamum kingdom, on his famous beaded two-figure throne during an audience in late December 1911 or early January 1912 (fig. 1). He receives one of his barefooted subjects, who assumes the typical Bamum pose of reverence and a…
