MLU FORUM - HUP in Sahara

Came accros this picture. It's part of a collection of pictures which belonged to an exibition seen in the Tropenmuseum, The Netherlands.

"The chocolate expedition"

The exhibition features photographic and film material from the Chocolate Expedition to Ghana in 1951. The expedition was organised when chocolate manufacturer Van Houten decided to make a company film which would include footage of the harvesting of the cacao beans in Ghana (still called the Gold Coast at that time). Photographer Frits Lemaire (1921-2005) and filmmaker Louis van Gasteren were both members of the expedition. Lemaire went along as cameraman but he also took photos along the way."
