The highlands of Æthiopia
A travel account of Abyssinia, written by Sir William Cornwallis Harris and published in London in 1844 by Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, probably for a British reading public curious about Ethiopia. The first picture shows mounted warriors in feathered headdresses with spears, round shields and horses, drawn in fine engraved line with a signed artist credit beneath; the second is a landscape of trees, hills and a village set sideways on the page, useful for designers wanting dramatic engraved foliage and hillside detail.
