Über die Capverden nach dem Rio Grande und Futah-Djallon. Reiseskizzen aus Nord-West Afrika
This 1884 travel sketchbook, published in Leipzig by P. Frohberg and written by the Austrian-born mineralogist Cornelio August Doelter, records a journey through the Cape Verde islands, the Rio Grande and Futa Djallon in West Africa, aimed at German readers. Its pictures are plain black-and-white line drawings of Senegambian objects such as a sword with fringed scabbard, a fringed club and a fan-like leafed panel, plus one wooded landscape, so a designer could borrow their stripes, tassels and radiating leaf patterns as graphic motifs.
