Images from Ouest Cameroun
These
photographs were taken in Ouest Camerooon by Tchinda Etienne,
former apprentice of Toussele Jacques. Although the master is
still working, Tchinda Etienne has stopped working as a
photographer and is now a farmer. The nagatives were given to
David Zeitlyn in December 2001 when I visited him along with
another former apprentice, Chila Joseph, now based at Bankim. No
documentation to these photographs exists. Tchinda Etienne said
they were taken in the 1960s and possibly early 1970s.
