An African adventure
An African Adventure is a 1921 travel book published in New York by John Lane Co., written by Isaac Frederick Marcosson and held in the Smithsonian Libraries' Russell E. Train Africana Collection, with a subject link to South African statesman Jan Smuts. Its photographs are plain black-and-white halftone plates, many printed sideways with captions, showing African people, a diamond mine, and a homestead, so a designer could draw on their documentary, unposed look for reference or period atmosphere.
