En Sahara à travers le pays des Maures nomades
A French travel account of the Sahara and the Moorish nomad country, written by Gaston Donnet and published in Paris by L.H. May in 1901 for a general readership. The plates are pen-and-ink drawings in a loose, sketched line: one shows a riverside village of huts and moored boats, while others show camel caravans and robed figures in desert scrub, some printed sideways on the page. A designer could draw on their hatched shading and open sandy grounds for desert or nomad-themed layouts.
