The new Zambesi trail : a record of two journeys to north-western Rhodesia (1903 and 1920)
A 1922 London and New York travel record by Catharine Winkworth Mackintosh, describing two journeys to north-western Rhodesia in 1903 and 1920, likely written for a missionary and general readership. The plates show African village life in the Zambezi region, including a pit excavation, women carrying water pots, canoe repair, fishing with a line from a canoe, and ceremonies at a chief's accession. A designer could take from them the strong documentary texture of early twentieth-century photogravure and the rhythm of crowded group scenes.
