Descripción: American Museum Congo Expedition 1909-1915.
«While one of the main goals of the Lang-Chapin Expedition was to gather physical specimens from the Congo for return to the Museum for study and display, the collection of photographic images in the field was also a major objective. The photographic technology of the day required the use of large glass plate negatives with slow film speeds. Thus, it was extremely difficult for expedition members to photograph Congo species, especially fast-moving primates, without capturing them first.»
