Five months' sport in Somali land

Wolverton, Frederick Glyn, 4th Baron, 1864-1932, Paget, Arthur Henry Fitzroy, Sir, 1851-, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) DSI · 1894 · London : Chapman & Hall · 7 pictures

A hunting account published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1894, written by Lord Wolverton and Arthur Paget about sport in Somaliland for an English readership of sportsmen. Its pictures are plain black-and-white line drawings with loose shading, showing game animals, thorn trees and a figure in a white robe, and a designer could take from them the open, sparse landscape of dry bush and the simple composition of a single animal set against sky and scrub.
