African game trails : an account of the African wanderings of an American hunter-naturalist

Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919, Carman, John Ambrose, former owner. DSI, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) DSI · 1910 · London : J. Murray · 9 pictures

A 1910 London hunting account by American hunter-naturalist Theodore Roosevelt, published by J. Murray, recording his African expedition for an audience of sportsmen and naturalists. The pictures are black-and-white photographs and halftone plates of camp scenes, hunted game, and a figure walking beside a slain animal, with some framed in grid layouts; a designer might take their rough documentary texture and tidy caption-and-plate arrangements as reference for early twentieth-century field reportage.
