The backbone of Africa : a record of travel during the Great War, with some suggestions for administrative reform
A 1921 London travel record by Sir Alfred Sharpe, written for general readers about east and central Africa during the Great War, with administrative reform suggestions. Its photographs are rotated grey halftones of landscapes, mountains, and people at work, showing the region's terrain and daily life; a designer might take their dramatic tonal range, wide horizon compositions, and the vertical captions running beside each plate.
