Here, the Atlantic Ocean needs the western coastline of know maybe the country was once one of 4 german colonies in africa and at the beginning of the 20th century, the stage for revolutionary development and visual documentation. Its here that the 1st color photographs of africa and its people were taking this hassan donald z, a noise. It was still a very new and sensational technique with photos suddenly be available in color. Its just move this van. Its on food for the view of a color photo feels much close to the black and white. Why not slice good . The whole bedroom. I was a pioneering photo chemist who created the 1st color portraits in africa in his diary he would later recall. In connection with this debate, i was us with there. I would venture to take type images in this form. I could naturally make no promises, as it would depend not on me, but on the fellows being willing to keep still the so called type images, racialized photos taken with the intent of showing a german audience. African people grouped according to their ethnic background in the countries they lived in the story began with an Innovative New camera, a colorful new way of promoting german colonialism. Far flung mans their towns, cities, and inhabitants. 3 color photography was a revolutionary development. And this was the 1st time it was put to use to generate Popular Support for germanys colonial ventures. The ben get to my most as im come because there was always a holiday feeling when we visited my grandparents grand dad would say he was going to get hurt the heavy before you know, and these things really were a terribly heavy. Well touch the, put it on the tables, im coming and we looked at the pictures page by page. Try come up every time. I dont hope when we had time. It was a very special and emotional numbers on the talk. And of course he tell us stories too. I know youre really impressed by the pictures. Im going to see a minor in march 19 o 9. Will that bill meyer set out on a steamship run by a hamburg based colonial shipping company. Is destination german, south, west africa to these . And that may be the german photographer compiled a private photo album documenting his travels between black and white images. Among them. His arrival in this walk up moaned the main port, serving the german collins. He also kept a diary made public here for the 1st time german South West Africa was not his 1st stop on the continent, but it was a disappointing one. I must confess. One cannot possibly imagine a story, a sight, and in the sandy deserts, with houses, with not a single tree or shrub, little misses heading. The attorneys wife broke out in t is when she saw her new hunt. I could not think of anything more saddening than having to live here permanently on the coast. The became so ready, touch safe to genuinely knew very little about the colonies dimension as hardly any one had actually seen. That does act and reports with pretty rare all the savings there who spend a lot to speak, the population of germans and all the colonies together with 25000. 00. So vanishingly small has been so go back to me. I was sent to africa where he effectively served as the p r, director of germanys colonies, working for berlin Publishing House and with the backing of the german authorities, he travelled across the continent. His job was to produce color photographs, showing germans the beauty of their distant colonies. The primary focus was human subject who had been categorized by european anthropologist. It was the 1st time that germans so color images of african people. So to get a few, but im going to include in your honest vic photography was essentially a colonial tool, different and assessed to redeem the picture serve to demonstrate the supposedly history scientific. So theres hierarchical differences between people and culture, money system. And they also serve to degrade individuals into type 0 and based on exterior features minds with taping head up. So getting beautiful, gets there . Sure. Flushed. And when ron guns which did for the politic find logistic ideas of race was very important for jim and colonial policy. In particular, they were all pervasive as seen in advertising valve. The imagery used was strongly influenced by the belief that the quote unquote european race was superior to others. That white, your opinions were at the top of the hierarchy. Indeed. So here i see you own state, or the photographs that little minor delivered were precisely what his employers wanted. They showed the indigenous population of africa as being comprised of a variety of tribes and ethnic groups to differed in terms of appearance, character, and degree of civilization. The escape images are flushed daniel of death. How many of man thats device and one of that was the notion of the, on the family of man follows the whites mine up at the top. Soon as you and all other colors lower down the asians in the middle front and at the bottom on god black people, some by then on the newest, wrong you so done with the sun, for example, referred to us or flush man by and then well all manner of series intended to prove this series. Now see mazda on the scientific of costs. Listen truck, but back then, i think, will consistent scientific fact. My anthropologist and ethanol logistics room. You can opt was known as visiting shaft. The top did one. This is the Lutheran Church in windows, then and now both from honk mine and van any other place to live here in winter hook. Hark month isnt historian, born in and maybe ask german born. He literally moved here 30 years ago and is a former director of the National Archives of lynch as experts of colonial history. Theyre familiar with low myers photos. I wanted to ask because, you know, i said sir, and this once you get this, you can make up all kinds of stories and at least could be anybody arose or just as easily of an boys and the children. Well, theres no way of saying that then, now my children time is this was probably on a fun, old valley and a half w i to a settlement with the white owners workers lived while the i lived with his herero wife. Yeah, i think there was often a certain degree of estimate makes things a ignition of the us. I was looking good invite is good for good reason. So you to the information in parts it to the farmers in 5 months. Im because the phone you were told to recruit people from different ethnic groups as its me and i just a bite easy and youd be getting and then youre going far as they supposedly didnt go on with each other. Yeah. So then theyd be easier to control. And so if its a decent, there were a lot of dubious mis being told and about these pictures to discriminate against me. So then im on the do quite a good job with the boss to go from that thats have that set hasnt got too much to have an issue and we just didnt. He didnt take a stereotypical shot. Did he did . She just has a pleasant appearance of a, but anyone could claim shes a boss to go as ive mentioned if she could also be a nominal number, falls on a decent text. The text accompanying the pictures in this book were not written to accompany the picture. The same ones and the teachers were just added in the life signs on, on the pillows and thought, oh, we dont, i am getting torn, especially the mazda mazda and officially, if we, its will be a resource to the same degree as a certain post cards. And circulation backs ends of the individual portrait shots are dignified, which is surprising when you think about the other kinds of photos from that title and the done thing for this is on. So for the build fee to that side, got as a logical for treats head on and side on for depicting suppose a racial types. When was it . So really the case with low meyer, this is by no my, i just need to fire the photos are considered to have or to stick value. Theyre still published and posted today, sometimes on websites with decidedly non artistic agendas, maintenance items. There are websites that clearly exhibit and astrology longing for the sierra and these pictures future heavily there. Then the guns close all at a time of growing digitalization and interesting german colonial history. Low miners, photos are in the joining of renaissance, usually in the absence of any contextual information. The jesus must have buddhist and one of the vehicles scott, at the pictures clubs do have a powerful impact that would be especially due to their context free circulation online. Whether for illustrating wikipedia entries or in postcard collections, they automatically reproduce the colonialist and races narratives contained in the images quoting you, these photos were created within the context of an equal power structures of interest. Im a little bit low, maya was born in like sagan, 1879, but went to high school in berlin. The product of a typical and middle class upbringing, us compared to get an ide. So you guys up and you can come months as you, but you might as the united funds notice i was born in live c as in. So im self as a berliner. Im was very proud of his little excellent ideas. You spoke very quickly. Im gonna think strongly eloquent and quick witted on the 0 either good, but im sure lots of this now. Test scores. Ill probably fall switch you to as relatively small stature. Now as im smooth the unsafe teeth. Well, he was 5 good for at most im almost as he so he had to depend on his with others. So myer decided to embark on the same different careers in 190 to get enrolled at the Royal Technical College in berlin. Their legendary german photo chemist at all for me to was one of his lecturers that you need to presented a Ground Breaking invention. The 3 color camera, the model. I photos, quotes in canada, and quotes in the toilet of into inside of the software site. If you want to take 3 photos in quick succession, ill see which then probably meant 4 seconds and turn it in photography. So back then, dont have to really stay still for a number of seconds. I was, im trying not to bring up venus from it and oh, actually im fun on. Um. Yeah, i think thats what keeps these photos that statics you stopped isnt caught the meet his invention involve the subject being captured on 3 plates through red, green, and blue filters with the color photo resulting from the 3 exposures. In 19 o 3 meter demonstrated his invention to kaiser vill him the 2nd, the german monarch was thrilled the afternoon for took se decoding. Alex punishment for the whole powers when to introduce them to its a little cafe. Invention of photography coincided, roughly with europes colonial expansion. And the emergence of ethnology with all 3 influencing one another. Vista and photography wasnt incredibly important tools as it were mostly for communicating and disseminating the colonial concept item. The school in young duncans. Ringback the hands, a hotel in swat up wound was a hot spot for colonial high society in german South West Africa. Low maya saw his job as a patriotic one. And his academic title helped given the monsters class differences at the time was considered acceptable and government and offices circles. Otherwise, they would have just said that some photographers from germany each one moment the colonial rulers, working to set up a home away from home. Within a short space of time, they built a strikingly authentic replica of a small germantown men void english to so and based on the basically they wanted to create a kind of superior jim, anita. And as was typical for colonial enthusiasts in the mid 19th century to she didnt really captions on what they were left with. Instead with who rule material produces act commercial markets on showcase buildings. And then i, instead of creating a mini empire, the only day now was more about establishing rule making local people went to the gym and, and i ended the storage because i all right, so lawson low myers assignment was to show the colonies working well in resplendent color essentially propaganda for a german empire along the british lines off by the, including the one where they might be to hang on to the colonial administrators. Whats constantly citing breton brought the being to be it be cool in phoning and running launch colonies and making profit from themself, given that hosted, seen and subtract. India was a for that size, and seeing that you and then the crown of the british impious a was something they never achieve as if it was, it was the prime example to follow. I us to slide some guns closest for that you know, forward to the german colonies, germanys leading anthropologist of the time qu, stuff that you like and advances and photography to the progress brought by german colonial rulers to the african subject. The book was a huge success. The kinds are ordered his own personal copy. The luxury addition cost 220. 00 wrecks marks. Almost a 3rd of the average annual income of the time of popular edition costing 3 marks, 50, sold a phenomenal 60000 copies of the best seller nick clooney. Id the guys to go see my grandfather was pro colonial for nelson the over at st. War mongering center for the adult to the vocabulary of the time. The boys doing everything for him in carrying them through the jungle with a sedan chair. When i was a boy, i would see my grand out. It was like dr. Do. Little who did the important, above all, was having a decent neck and a dependable black orderly, which for the local chieftains, in effect, may be a guest of the government. The primary difficulty, of course, was keeping the caravans together. Riding back, i occasionally administered a few blows of encouragement with the people either with an instrument with its weight in gold. Here its appearance alone works one. This comes when it tries without a doubt to count. Racism was a core element of colonialism. It was essentially integral part of the thinking and that the right side, the africans were not seen as the future fellow citizens like campbell ruined born marching to bowwie. Gwyn 19 o. 2 became a city train conductor in berlin. Africa was associated with untamed nature, adventure and romance books with lo, myers photos, referred to negroes and their place in contemporary racial theory. Some examples, each rate should keep to its own an old phrase based on manifold experience that finds for the confirmation. Here to this day, the bushman wondering evidently in the grasslands exist on the lowest conceivable level of humanity. The life of the bushman is indeed reminiscent of that of animals in the wild. What is conspicuous, however, is the difference in facial shape between the back tomorrow and the over herero to the broad angular head of the despised clip cover. Then this striking narrow head of the almost herero the master was in many cases, almost semitic like features scot off, the flushed and when it was old, the notion that your opinions have the right to rule over other peoples because they were at the top of this racial hierarchy, an ocean, the winter in china, and russia, and those other peoples and societies which a works if in your opinion man, be subordinate to him on science or in addition to the native individuals to based in accordance with racial theory. Little matters photos also depicted the colony as a power dice with a solid infrastructure and risk taking landscapes. The d, which tv spits here to buddha, for the motifs featured in full bath low myers photos, spoke a very familiar visual language for people back home in terms of their composition. I met with design as of the beta, the photos ill show landscape, send architecture and chef. And i stick to him good side of math only because he often featuring imperial infrastructure and buildings such as churches. And because its one of the composition wasnt many cases being comparable with picture postcard that people knew from germany or other places in europe deutschen a passion or i can come to shortly before christmas 19. 07 old. That little myer disembark from the steamship a, a is destination low, may the capitol of toko, in west africa, considered an exemplary colonial project. I dressed up in my pristine wife finery and drove proudly to the governor, a new and expensive whole construction touch with a globe like the th still back on, on live. So you just offset the cocoa as a media is an expert in colonial history at the university of lou may. Due to scheduling our interview, have to take place via video call and discuss price bids on the need. Take the example. The roommate is our prospects and it has the streets, buildings, and districts to see the white by the german name luma. Mistress mountain. There are literally a city was exclusively european sale of a nice a population. I had to live on the outskirts and what was called low midland. Numerous times in lumina, as wouldnt come from parties or about they did build a couple of hospitalized. Im not sure. So for your opinions only their own then as well as for medical treatment for the indigenous population events, they were sent to shante buildings in the vicinity of the hospital give this house is a back and then they theres congress. So thats right, thats all the photos taken by little my own, should germans exploiting the colony for the benefit of the german empire . I will send germans in general. Yeah. Then most of the stores surprised to him. So i said that those i think of my to go was considered germanys model colony for the commercial Trading Companies and plantation owners who set up business there a peaceful and lucrative prospect to go back and yeah, im just pointing squarely, im 0. Tuvell colonies was more about exploitation then said to me, yes, i will step down with in german eyes and it was a model better doable. Why not say i . So the work done by toby leaves helped ensure that germany no longer needed to invest economically in the colon as not to release the advice on the war. Absolutely, by depriving upstairs the mission the house to did shop please. As a, in the quarterly invest jim, its autumn alternative perspective. My perspective twos of mine are perspective in this model, colony was only beneficial for the german rulers. So as of right, you can get, you guys really suffered hardship from colonial rule and allied skin with our work, only surfing the power of the calling us to on how we yes, to answer the severe detrimental to Peoples Health sciences and their loan societies are obviously price said to last, me directly said shots when so right now this book spoke the literally only of the ciocca leaves. So well as alien to him as the winch, the potters wheel, the cart, the use of working animals for the plough in these things is a 1000 years behind the white man and the yellow race. Lo meyer too believed in the idea of a civilizing mission. In this world, whiteman held all the power and to good these women were reduced to possessions and sex object. The new white man bought himself a young girl. And in the evening the black woman called mommy appeared punctually on the veranda. A few days later, i to my surprise determined that there was likewise a black, something or other offering itself outside my door. I still had no inkling that this was a customer gift for guests. Since i had absolutely no appetite for this kind of chocolate, i asked my eyes to refrain from such hospitality and future the im from home gave eyes including your listeners. Id say its a strange understand initially having an indigenous woman as a mistress with something the white clooney and let the groans and in the eyes wash that it was partons possible effect conquests to, to move a time for them without id was increasingly subject to subject to race or a white mind co, hesitating with an indigenous woman would be set to have been im, its gone native and again and for autism and leaving verdant cove at low. My also visited to do that. The 2nd most important part in the colony was also home to a Little Germany complete with all the trappings, as can still be seen today. The sharp island meals due to this was the sight of a concentration camp set up by the german colonial troops. Over 1000 nama starved and froze to death here, no little myer photos document. These events the ro, nama rebellion started in 19 o. 4. The German Response was brutal and turned into a systematic genocide of 80000 herero some 65000 were killed together with half of the nom as 20000 strong population. The to day the crime is commemorated by a memorial in wind hook. In its day, the bloody clothing of the rebellion was also the subject of fierce debate back in germany. There would serve just a key issue in the parliamentary elections of 1907. Both of germanys most popular Political Parties condemned to the colonial armies, actions none. The less, these events went on mentioned by his lo meyer and his travel ox. 2 bedroom is due to is it some deemed use the input just an ottoman, is it so and finished another speech indicating them just to bid a low myers photos presented a completely different mixture and safe space. So it says an item, one of peaceful colonies, lunch of safety for im a vast landscapes. I am the occasional inhabitant to architecture and clear composition and giving the colonies a shot. And i did like feel as an adult in vast landscapes, towns, and villages. With familiar architecture, the colonies were depicted as a Pleasant Place to live. Despite the reality that launch swabs were barren wilderness low myers photography, delivered and advertising world ideas. The leader of its railway line connected the port town with the interior and the number of desert no meyer was among the passengers in his own carriage.

This symptom now middle 9 small town audits fame to the discovery of diamonds fields in the sand of comments comp. Aside from a number of pictures. And then amid the only point of interest to you with the various stages of diamond mining, coal mines gump was a backwater full of nuva reached colonialist, who had their bath water delivered from south africa. In soda bottles. The diamond boom brought prosperity to the barren south of the colony. The settlers built themselves everything from ball rooms to bowling alleys. The the precious stones made a select few wealthy, but the colonial settlements were largely subsidized, undertaking a disorder. And ive had lots in this, may astoria data, ultimately, the german empire invested in more money from tax revenues in the colonies than its ever earned from them. So those Certain Companies were able to become extremely wealthy. The that i should be able to close with allstate, trading from the pacific, and lets see, fake, make them do the diamond trade the real way to somebody, for example, by screen size of the size of the fia. So there were companies and they are shareholders from colonial investments. For a strongly look, tradition house clinton busy a product is as easy as hawkeye sales, including say, in 19 o, 9 low my arrived in german, east africa. The pearl of germanys colonies Mount Kilimanjaro celebrated at the time as germanys highest mountain was among the highlights on visitors, travel like january, an unforgettable sight, africa, and snow combinations so strange that the mr. Lee, who 1st reported it to you of the 30 years ago, was declared insane. The most picturesque black people live to the circle mass side. Black would actually be the room what they would doc brown and had a wonderful warrior jewelry. I was most glad to be able to record this peculiar tribe to the messiah with a low meyer the appear to me of a noble african horse, described in the book. The aristocratic cast of the native population. The scouring a group of mercenaries from various parts of africa, likewise enjoyed a reputation as excellent soldiers and dependable allies. Some would fight for germany in the 1st world war in what is now tens and the, 10s dream of realizing a british style empire seemed possible. The german regime was competing directly and in its its own eyes on equal footing with its european rival in neighboring kenya. And then lets neon for them. Asked me next week is that it was a very prevalent id or in the run up to the 1st world war to the gym and Colonial Company managed to win know for a lot of people with it, and less promotional campaigns and event armstead, to in the future mention galvan and how to and feed us, feed it read sort. And in the years before the war was this notion of rivalry became hugely important. Together with the idea of being a global power on its own months is even off as fed mouth, crushed in warranted. Nationalistic propaganda played a major role among the competing colonial powers. Racist stereotypes were frequently deployed to mean both the colonized and competing european nations. The skip this. Yeah, and look for that. Gosh, dont touch it was introducing was an example. It system se, whats a satirical magazine that compare the various european colonial powers, particularly in very vivid terms. German colonialism was betrayed as peaceful and next to the beloved thursday belgians, before the capitalistic simulated set of materials and method for tolstoy and palest must file the interracial sexual next thing. And portuguese colonialism was also a friend of on 6 where the teats, its included. This was difficult to be used in different germany. These comparisons were in court. And this kind of what im doing is, i know that the, the 1st world war in europe killed millions and so on the collapse of the monarchy in germany with it. And the germanys aspirations to a global empire. The former german colonies were taken over by france and britain back home that was widespread shame over the presence of black occupying troops on german soil. Especially the french Infantry Group that had fought in the trenches on the western front, the this man just a minute. Youre going to get after national hinge questions and get to us a deliberate humiliation. And i met with a small position i, including organized protests by associations in britain and the us as of this law. And that im running side, the idea of a white population being gaudy and commanded by black men with bon, unprecedented, and considered an absolute with this. So as a natural order in kid and not to listen for hitting this. If its hosted on this, even the left wing satirical publications in germany, such as collaborative adapt and sublet, says most join the propaganda war against the so called black infamy fueling races, notions of the murderous, sexually violent black man. Races, colonialist cliches were present in both political discourse and popular culture. Nothing dakota needing him to get his estimate 6 out of it with the loss of the colonies after the 1st of all, the more got this, the big debates and the volume or republic centered on colonial resolution. The reason these movements would be um, which takes the low myers photos, enjoy revival writing, a wave of postwar colonial nostalgia already popular picture postcard motifs. In the 1920s, the images also re appeared in a special edition book marking the birth of german colonialism. The subsequent to nancy regime, the amplified the revision that some of the 5 mile republic, yet again, instrumental lising, the photos escape toyotas. If he mentioned, there are a lot of people sitting in germany. Some scientists and primarily known academics behind the quinn says the anti semitism was different from the racism shown towards the africans, for example. But i believe that these 2 phenomena are very closely connected with men difficult for most outside of the defining ideology of the Nazi Movement was anti semitism. It is most fond, of course. There is an intrinsic link to the racism against the motion of things to football, not 30 years after low myers 1st trip is photos were featured again in the 1937 book german africa ended future 4 years later, another book followed our wonderful old colonies. The images had been incorporated into non c id ology decoding. Yeah. Into the turn oh neil in tuesday and thats what comes in on the not face. They hoped that they knew hitler regime would enable the re establishment of the colonial empire. Alfonso, kind of in that side as much and as i said this was a lead view to of the court in united side of the, the end of the so the nazi era saw a resurgence of colonial era images. There were re issues of old magazines and illustrated books and the colonial era pictures. I enjoyed a renaissance with the nazis happy to make use of that imagery, and its inherently racist of narrative, dean and process. Just dont know how to use english feelings and the photos were the same. Some of the accompanying texts were revised with unmistakable references to the ignominy of the 1st world war defeat. The nazi publishers deployed racist stereotypes to appeal to readers longing for the old colonies. A manhattan entries, does it see im for life say well heading to integrate all the colonial into use. Yeah. Got into not see audiology. There were also plans for a restoration of the overseas empire, which was only abandoned in 1942 as nonsense fine footage of the game. But when the 2nd world war broke out, well that little meyer was 60 married, was 2 sons, and with his own company, or he would never return to the former colonial territories.

One is an old, colonial imagery is still with us today, but i thought you can find it everywhere from advertising to musical level. It has little to do with reality in africa. Donnas money function, nice looking pictures, you the image showing a big conveys adventure. Im to exhaust, just as im excited take on this and you have documented up for your current debates over racism and Cultural Appropriation offer an opportunity to reassess historically important photos like those taken by a whole back little maya for im so im so that was for the im going with indeed, and a responsible approach to the pictures with the firstly of a critical reprisals. Im quite the seeing and marking them within their context and would be even if we as a Museum Exhibit an image with an accompanying text.

But to date, the circumstances of these photos creation and their use must be contextualized and commented upon.
