Güssfeldt, Paul, 1840-1920, Falkenstein, Julius August Ferdinand, b. 1842, Pechuel-Loesche, Eduard, 1840-1913 · 1879 · Leipzig : P. Frohberg · 11 pictures

A German travel account of the Loango Expedition, sent out from Germany to explore equatorial Africa in 1873 to 1876, published in Leipzig in 1879 by P. Frohberg with text by Güssfeldt, Falkenstein and Pechuel-Loesche for a scientific and general readership. The four pictures are black-and-white wood engravings, several printed sideways, showing a coastal landscape with palms, a line of figures in a village setting, young seedlings rooted in mud, and a palm-lined encampment with tents and people, offering a designer period reportage imagery of tropical landscape and fieldwork.
