Descripção da viagem á Mussumba do Muatiãnvua

Carvalho, Henrique Augusto Dias de, 1843-1909 · 1890 · Lisboa, Imprensa nacional · 19 pictures

A Portuguese account published in Lisbon in 1890 by Henrique Augusto Dias de Carvalho, describing his 1884-1888 expedition to the Mussumba of the Muatiânvua in Central Africa, written for a Portuguese readership. Its engravings are plain black-and-white line portraits of African men and women in simple cloth, with a standing figure and a seated figure, plus a sketched antelope; a designer might take their direct, frontal, documentary poses as a model for ethnographic portrait layouts.
