Thomas Birch Freeman : missionary pioneer to Ashanti, Dahomey, and Egba

Milum, John · 1893 · London : S.W. Partridge · 16 pictures

A missionary biography of Thomas Birch Freeman, written by John Milum and published in London by S.W. Partridge in 1893, aimed at a general Christian readership interested in mission work in West Africa. Its pictures are plain black-and-white wood engravings and halftone photographs of West African towns, streets, and people, with captions such as Mansu and Types of Natives, Abeokuta, useful to a designer seeking documentary imagery of 19th-century Gold Coast and Yoruba settings.
