Two Dianas in Somaliland : the record of a shooting trip

Herbert, Agnes, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) DSI · 1908 · London ; New York : J. Lane · 6 pictures

Two Dianas in Somaliland is a 1908 hunting travel record by Agnes Herbert, published in London and New York by J. Lane, aimed at general readers interested in big-game shooting in Africa. Its plates are rotated photographic reproductions of hunting scenes: a crowded camp-like group under a cloud of smoke, a rocky ridge with a figure, a wooded hillside with a pale animal, and a rifle-carrying hunter in a field of trees. A designer might take their dramatic tonal contrast, dense foliage textures and rugged terrain as references for adventure or outdoor-expedition material.
