IN 1958 the American photographer Todd Webb travelled to Africa to document industry and technology. Commissioned by the United Nations Office of Public Information, Webb photographed the first full election in what was then Togoland (Togo now), oil rigs in Somalia (when it was still known as Somaliland) and copper mining in Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) as he visited eight African nations. Webb arrived in the last days of colonialism and, as Aimee Bessire and Erin Hyde Nolan point out in their new book Todd Webb: Outside the Frame, he was very much a white male outsider. But, at times, his photographs contradict his own romantic images of Africa. (He found the systemic racism in Rhodesia particularly discomforting.)

NEW YORK, NY
.- In 1958, photographer Todd Webb, best known for his remarkable images of the everyday life and architecture of New York and Paris, as well as photographs of the American West, was commissioned by the United Nations Office of Public Information to document the progress of industry and technology in what were then eight different African nations, either recently independent or on the cusp of gaining independence in the aftermath of World War II.
