Meine Mission nach Abessinien. Auf befehl Sr. Maj. des deutschen kaisers unternommen
Meine Mission nach Abessinien is an 1883 German travel account by the explorer Gerhard Rohlfs, published in Leipzig by F. A. Brockhaus for German readers, and it recounts a mission to Abyssinia undertaken on the orders of the German emperor. The single plate shows a crowded engraved scene of mounted figures and a procession with spear-carrying men, with fine hatching and dense black-and-white contrast that a designer could draw on for busy, high-detail linework and tonal crowd patterns.
