Photo postcard of the Japoma railway bridge near Douala, Cameroun — a graceful steel arch span carrying the railway line across a tropical river, oil palms rising in the foreground, a train just visible crossing the bridge in the middle distance, the cleared forest of the coastal zone stretching behind. Cameroon became a French League of Nations Mandate in 1922 after the WWI partition of German Kamerun, and the French administration invested heavily in railway infrastructure to extract the territory's timber, cocoa, and palm oil. The Japoma bridge on the Douala–Yaoundé line was a key piece of that infrastructure.
