Days and Nights in the Desert. With ... illustrations

GILLMORE, Parker. · 1888 · Kegan Paul & Co. · 30 pictures

A hunting and travel narrative of North African desert country by Parker Gillmore, published in London by Kegan Paul in 1888 for British sportsmen and armchair readers. The plates are fine-line wood engravings of game animals — leaping springbok, a maned Barbary lion, grazing antelope, a warthog — each captioned with common and Latin names, offering sparse hatched landscapes, animals in mid-motion, and usable single-figure silhouettes.
