Description
Todd Webb in Africa Outside the Frame offers a unique perspective on the photographer's lesser-known work. In 1958, Webb was commissioned by the United Nations to document eight African countries on the cusp of independence. The resulting photographs, taken over a five-month period, showcase Webb's skillful documentation of everyday life and architecture in a new and unexpected context. This book presents over 150 striking color photographs from Webb's African United Nations assignment, accompanied by expert insight and essays that engage the photographs in their historical and artistic moment.
