Voyage aux grands lacs de l'Afrique Orientale ... Ouvrage traduit ... par Mme H. Loreau, et illustré de 37 vignettes
French edition of Richard Burton's account of his East African expedition to the great lakes, translated by Henriette Loreau and published in 1862 for French readers of travel and geography. The 37 wood engravings are quiet landscape and settlement views — thatched conical huts, a hillside of round rocks, distant mountain ranges under flat cloud — with fine horizontal hatching that designers can use for open skies, textured terrain, and vignette framing.
