Joannès Barbier

Jean Ennemond Barbier, commonly known as Joannès Barbier, was a French photographer known for his images in colonial West Africa in the 1890s, operating out of Senegal. His images reached notoriety when he took pictures of massacred Africans, in some cases arranging the scenes for photographic effect. Later, he acted as an organizer of "black villages" or human zoos at the colonial exhibitions in Lyon in 1894, Paris in 1895, and Rouen in 1896.
