Through Africa from the Cape to Cairo

Grogan, Ewart Scott, 1874-1967-, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) DSI · 1901 · Washington, D.C. : Government Printing Office · 5 pictures

A 1901 travel account of Africa by Ewart Scott Grogan, published in Washington by the Government Printing Office and aimed at general readers interested in African exploration. Its pictures are monochrome halftone landscapes of volcanic cones, snowy peaks, reed-like plants and geysers, with soft tonal gradation and broad open skies that a designer could use as reference for atmospheric, ground-level scenic compositions.
