Wilhelm von Harnier's Reise am oberen Nil is an 1866 travel account of the upper Nile, edited by Adolph von Harnier and illustrated by Johann Martin Bernatz, compiled from the 1860-1861 journey for German readers. The four coloured lithographs show a battle among spearmen on a grassy plain, a group of local men beside huts, and birds and a hippopotamus on riverbanks, giving a designer a record of 1860s European views of African landscape, dress and wildlife, with soft pastel washes and crisp figure outlines.
