Much of Africa, particularly those countries in the Great
Lakes region, weren't even visited by westerners armed with
cameras until the early twentieth century and, as such, we
will never see images of old Africa from those areas, even ancient maps tended to leave those areas blank. The
good news though, is that little has changed so what you see
today is Africa 'uncut' and in its natural state with only
homes now being made of brick rather than wood and new
roads. Here we showcase old African photos of rural life, villages and photos of African children at home, work, play and at
school.
