Le voyage de mon fils au Congo
This is a French travel account from 1894 by the Duke and Duchess of Uzès, published in Paris by Plon and Nourrit, describing a voyage to the Congo made by their son. The pictures are sketched scenes of river boats with paddlers, a dense line of warriors advancing through tall grass, and a camp of figures under umbrellas beside lush vegetation, rendered in soft grey wash that suits designers wanting atmospheric colonial-era travel imagery.
