A life for Africa; Rev. Adolphus Clemens Good, American missionary in equatorial West Africa

Parsons, Ellen C · 1900 · New York, Revell · 8 pictures

A Life for Africa is a 1900 missionary biography by Ellen C. Parsons, published in New York by Revell, about the American missionary Adolphus Clemens Good in equatorial West Africa and written for a religious readership. Its photographs and drawings show Bulu village houses with thatched roofs raised on posts, palm-lined paths, a group portrait of Bulu men and a woman, and villagers gathered at a doorway. A designer could draw on the plain documentary style, the tight grouping of figures, and the thatch and palm textures of these early photographs and line drawings.
