I guess the whole set of photographs from Chaffanjon's Oronico expedition
is kept at the library of Société de Géographie.

Some of them were shown last year in an exhibition at Bibliothèque de
France and are posted here:

If this has not been already done, it would be interesting to compare these
photographs (and the drawings made from them by Riou in Chaffanjon's book)
with the illustrations by Roux in Le Superbe Orénoque.
