Central Africa, Japan and Fiji: a story of missionary enterprise, trials and triumphs
A missionary book published in New York in 1882 by the American Tract Society, written by Emma Raymond Pitman and aimed at a general Protestant readership interested in overseas mission work. The pictures are black-and-white wood engravings, mostly full-page scenes of African travel, river crossings, and village life, with some rotated on the page. A designer could take from them the dense line-hatching of nineteenth-century engraving, with figures, foliage and water built from parallel strokes.
