An illustrated travel anthology edited by Charles Simond in 1897, drawn from Heidelberg University Library's holdings, covering far-flung destinations for a French general readership. The four pictures show a rural African-style encampment with tents and figures, a long column of marching soldiers with a wooden structure, a hand-drawn palm-lined colonial building seen sideways, and a view of a harbour town with a stone wall, plus printed text on the page. A designer could take the dense crosshatched engraving, the sepia printed-page layout, and the sketchy foliage as period reference for hand-cut woodcut texture.
