Random number between 1 and 420 (index pages excluded), page 248 of The Body: Photoworks of the Human Form by William A. Ewing (published by Thames and Hudson) features an albumen print of "Mesdames (Eritrea)" by Luigi Naretti.

In  relation, Ewing writes "In the minds of many European photographers and their male clients, black African women were primarily objects of desire, deeply carnal creatures, amoral and yielding to the superior power of the white, like the dark Continent itself."
