Based on an in-depth analysis of the published photographs taken by Norwegian evangelical missionaries in Northern Cameroon between 1925, the start of their activities, and 2005. This work takes part in the "pictorial turn" in academic teaching and research, constituting visual images as an site of conversation across disciplinary lines.
