The Okavango River: a narrative of travel, exploration, and adventure ... With numerous illustrations
Charles John Andersson's account of his 1850s journey through South West Africa to the Okavango, published in London by Hurst & Blackett in 1861 for British readers following colonial exploration and big-game hunting. Full-page tinted wood engravings show lions dragging down prey, a rhinoceros tossing a hunter, elephants in open bush and spearmen among palms, with heavy cross-hatched foliage and pale washed skies that suit cut-out animal silhouettes and dramatic action vignettes.
