Tales of the African wild
Tales of the African Wild is a 1914 collection of stories published in London by W.A. Hammond, credited to Frederick William Dodds and aimed at a general readership. Its pages carry sketched black-and-white scenes with printed captions: a struggle among men in tall grass, a seated man confronting a servant on a veranda, a figure pulling a child from a thatched hut in the rain, and two captives held at an office doorway. The drawings are loose, hatched line work on cream paper, useful for designers seeking dramatic, narrative pen illustration with captions set beneath the image.
