Todd Webb in Africa — Outside the Frame

Published by Thames & Hudson in 2021, is part of the Darwin Bookshop because it offers a rare, full-colour portrait of mid-century Africa taken through the lens of an American modernist trained under Ansel Adams. Commissioned by the United Nations in 1958 to document progress and development across newly independent and soon-to-be independent African nations, Webb traversed Ghana, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Northern and Southern Rhodesia (now Zambia and Zimbabwe), Malawi and the Congo.
