Reisebilder aus Liberia is a German-language natural history and travel account by Swiss naturalist Johann Büttikofer, published in Leiden by E. J. Brill in 1890, recording geographic, zoological, and ethnographic fieldwork in Liberia from 1879 to 1887. The pictures are fine-line engravings of a leafy plant, monkey faces in profile, squirrels on a branch, and a crested hornbill, drawn with dense hatching that a designer could borrow for botanical or wildlife linework.
