De Saint-Louis a Tripoli par le Lac Tchad : voyage au travers du Soudan et du Sahara accompli pendant les années 1890-91-92
A travel narrative published in Paris in 1895 by Parfait-Louis Monteil, recounting his 1890-92 journey from Saint-Louis across the Sudan and Sahara to Tripoli via Lake Chad. The four plates are rotated engravings showing caravan processions, a lone rider under a pale moon on open sand, and a mounted figure with figures on a riverbank. Designers might take from them the tonal, dusky engraved style and the compositional device of a small figure set against vast flat terrain.
