Alone among the Zulus : the narrative of a journey through the Zulu country, South Africa
A 1910 travel narrative published in London by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, recounting Catherine Barter's solitary journey through the Zulu country of South Africa, aimed at a general and missionary readership. The four wood-engraved pictures show an ox-drawn wagon fording a river with men wading alongside, a woman tending a wounded man beside a wagon under a tree while a rifleman looks on, a European woman handing beads to a villager outside thatched huts with a cow and dog, and a herd of wildebeest charging through tall grass; a designer might take their hatched linework and sepia tones as a model for vintage travel-document illustration.
