De Angola á contra-costa; descripção de uma viagem atravez do continente africano ..
A Portuguese travel narrative by explorers Hermenegildo Capelo and Roberto Ivens, published in Lisbon in 1886, recounting their crossing of Africa from Angola to the east coast for a general reading public. The engravings are plain black-and-white line illustrations of African people: profile portraits of heads with dense curly hair, a group of seated men on a mound, and a standing figure in fiber skirt, beaded necklaces and feathered headdress, with a designer's takeaway in their strong contour hatching and sepia-toned paper for ethnographic or vintage-document looks.
