Bemerkungen

Aus der Arbeitsbibliothek von Hans-Joachim Koloss, Kurator der Afrika-Abteilung des Museums für Völkerkunde Berlin. / From the working library of Hans-Joachim Koloss, curator of the African department of the Berlin Ethnography Museum. - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Max Esser was an adventurous young merchant banker, a Rhinelander, who became the first managing director of the largest German plantation company in Cameroon. This volume gives a vivid account of the antecedents and early stages as experienced and described by Esser. In 1896 he ventured, with the explorer Zintgraff, into the hinterland to seek the agreement of Zintgraff s old ally, the ruler of Bali, for the provision of labourers for his projected enterprise. The consequences, many optimistically unforeseen, are illustrated with the help of contemporary materials. Esser’s account is preceded by a look at his and his family’s connections, added to by an account of newspaper campaigns against him, and completed by an examination of his Cameroon collection, which he gave to the Linden Museum in Stuttgart.
