Im Innern Afrikas : die Erforschung des Kassai während der Jahre 1883, 1884 und 1885

Wissmann, Hermann von, 1853-1905 · 1891 · Leipzig : Brockhaus · 18 pictures

This is a German-language travel account of exploring the Kasai region of Central Africa in 1883 to 1885, written by Hermann von Wissmann and published in Leipzig by Brockhaus in 1891 for a general European reading public. Its wood-engraved pictures show riverside camps with canoes, round thatched dwellings, and women carrying baskets on their heads, drawn with fine parallel hatching and plain outlines that a designer could use as a model for clear, rural ethnographic line work.
