The lure of Africa
The Lure of Africa is a 1917 missionary study book published in New York by the Missionary Education Movement of the United States and Canada, written by Cornelius Howard Patton for mission study groups and church readers. Its plates are plain halftone photographs of African landscapes, mission stations, and village dwellings, showing a designer tropical palms, thatched huts beside a whitewashed house, and a broad waterfall rendered in tonal grey, useful for period-accurate colonial-era reference imagery.
