British Central Africa : an attempt to give some account of a portion of the territories under British influence, north of the Zambesi
Harry Johnston's 1897 account of British Central Africa, published in New York by Arnold, describes the territories north of the Zambesi under British influence, with a natural history emphasis aimed at general readers and colonial interest. The four photographs show a thatched colonial-style building with a flagpole and dirt yard, a stand of tall borassus palms with figures walking among them, a hazy forest view through trees, and a rough stone causeway over a grassy track. A designer might take from them the raw tropical landscape palette of dusty earth, pale grass and layered tree silhouettes in sepia tones.
