Images of Guinea, showing Conakry, the Samou River rapids and various waterfalls. From 1935, back when it was a colony of France. These are from an album kept I assume by a French individual who was either living in the colony or on a visit. The album is up for sale with Wayfarers Bookshop whose website I found it on.
