Navigating the Gallery
The Collections and the Albums
The photos are distributed in a vaguely chronological order, so one option for the visitor is to go through the gallery one photo at a time or even one thumbnail-page at a time. However, the photos are grouped into various collections and albums, according to the following scheme, which allows for perhaps a better way of navigating the gallery. Each link corresponds to either a collection [bold type] or an album [numbered]:
1 Tenerife and Dakar, Early 1920s. (3 photos.)
2 CFL, 1924-1944. (8 photos.)
3 Ubundu (Ponthierville), 1924–1944. (4 photos.)
4 Kalemie (Albertville), 1924–1944. (13 photos.)
5 Kindu, 1920s?. (3 photos.)
6 Marseille–Daar es Salaam, 1930. (21 photos.)
7 Photo Drossopulos, 1930. (11 photos.)
8 Casimir Zagourski, 1930–1940. (4 photos.)
9 Nyamlagira, 1938. (4 photos.)
10 Kisangani (Stanleyville), 1939. (12 photos.)
11 Kivu, 1938–1944. (15 photos.)
12 Rwanda and Burundi, 1939–1944. (8 photos.)
13 Kabasha Escarpment, 1941–1944. (6 photos.)
14 Lake Kivu, 1941–1944. 17 photos.)
15 Bukavu, 1941–1944. (8 photos.)
16 Ruzizi River and Kamaniola Escarpment, 1941–1944. (10 photos.)
17 J. Bouchonville, ~1944. (42 photos.)
18 Photo Hutsebaut, 1950s. (3 photos.)
19 S. Skulina, 1950s. (3 photos.)
20 Kisangani (Stanleyville), 1950s. (17 photos.)
21 Various, 1938–1958. (28 photos.)
The Search Engine and the Tags
If you are looking for something specific (for example, photos taken in Ubundu), I think that the best option is to use the Search engine located at the top of any page of the gallery, even on the Map.
Another option is to look at the Tags page. Just click Tags whenever you are on any one of the photo pages. Once you are on the Tags page, you can access all the tags that have been applied to the photos, and you can even search through multiple tags. When you are searching for tags, keep in mind that I made all possible efforts to use not only contemporary place-names but also their corresponding old colonial names when applicable. For example, searching for Ubundu and/or Ponthierville will yield the same results.
The Maps
Unless otherwise indicated, all photos in this collection are geotagged, which means that their shooting locations can be seen on various maps—
• To see the whole collection of geotagged images on the Flickr maps, click Map.
• You can also see the collection in Google Earth via loc.alize.
• On any photo page, click the place-name or the little map located somewhere on the right of the comment box. This feature, unfortunately, has become practically useless.
Good luck and welcome to the gallery! Suggestions are welcome.
