[Abel Chapman's Sudan sketchbooks]

Chapman, Abel, 1851-1929, artist · 1913 · 34 pictures

A pencil sketchbook of birds made by the British hunter and naturalist Abel Chapman during his travels in Sudan, published in 1913 as a record of field observations. The pages show quick studies of birds in flight, perched and feeding, with species names and notes written beside them. A designer could draw on the loose, annotated gesture of these bird studies for expressive line work and natural field-notebook layouts.
