5. ZAGOURSKI, Casimir.
LAfrique qui Disparait.
[c.1930]. Twenty-two silver gelatin prints, postcard size. Very good
tonal range and in good condition.
This collection consists of postcards made from
photographs taken by Casimir Zagourski in
Africa between 1924 and 1941, which formed a
part of his overal project, LAfrique Qui Disparait
(Disappearing Africa). The photos are set in what is
now the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly
known as the Belgian Congo), Uganda, Rwanda,
Burundi, Chad, Kenya, Central African Republic,
Cameroon, and Congo-Brazzaville. The postcards
depict a variety of aspects of everyday life in these
different settings.
Casimir Zagourski, of Polish parentage, was born in
the Ukraine in 1880. After a military career in the
Russian air force and the Polish army, he left Eastern
Europe and moved to Africa in 1924, settling in
Leopoldville, now Kinshasa, Congo, where he
began his career as a photographer. During the next
seventeen years, until his death in 1941, Zagourski
traveled around Central Africa photographing its
people, places, and local traditions. At the same
time, he established and maintained a store in
Leopoldville to sell these images as postcards and
large prints. He also exhibited his work at the Paris
Worlds Fair in 1937.
