The adventures of an elephant hunter

Sutherland, James, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) DSI · 1912 · London : Macmillan · 16 pictures

A 1912 London Macmillan hunting memoir, The Adventures of an Elephant Hunter, by James Sutherland, drawn from the Smithsonian's Russell E. Train Africana Collection and aimed at general readers interested in big-game hunting in Africa. The pictures are black-and-white halftone photographs printed on plain pages, set rotated on the page with captions running along the edge; their dense tonal detail, grey-to-black contrast and open bush backgrounds suggest a designer could use them for vintage safari, expedition or monochrome wildlife layouts.
