The album, compiled by an unidentified colonial agent who was in the Belgian Congo from 1908 to 1909, documents one man's
experiences in the region during the first year of the newly-annexed Belgian colony's existence. The album records the agent's
journey from Antwerp to Matadi and thence up the Congo river to his post at Yoboila (Lomami). The remainder of the album documents
the agent's daily life, local inhabitants and surroundings.
