Exploration and hunting in central Africa 1895-96

Gibbons, A. St. H. (Alfred St. Hill), 1858-1916, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) DSI · 1898 · London : Methuen · 8 pictures

A 1898 London travel and hunting account by the explorer A. St. H. Gibbons, published by Methuen, recording his expedition through central Africa in 1895 and 1896. The four pictures are black-and-white halftone photographs and engravings of African groups, including a shaded hunting scene with spears and dogs, and a wide open landscape; a designer might take their candid group poses and sparse, documentary framing as period reference for ethnographic or outdoor-adventure material.
