Reise durch das Hinterland von Liberia im Winter 1906-1907 nach seinen Tagebüchern
This 1911 German travel account by Walter Volz, published in Bern by Francke, records his winter 1906-1907 journey through the interior of Liberia, drawn from his diaries for a general readership. The pictures are plain black-and-white line sketches and photographs: a site plan of a house in Kambahun, a diagram of fortification at Bussamai, a leopard trap with a stone-loaded drop lever, and a field photograph of standing stones on a grassy rise. A designer could take from them the clean schematic line style of early ethnographic field diagrams and their labelled, annotated layout.
