Dias de Carvalho, Henrique Augusto · 1890 · Lisboa, Imprensa nacional · 18 pictures

An 1890 ethnographic study of the Lunda peoples of central Africa, published in Lisbon by the Imprensa Nacional, written by Henrique Augusto Dias de Carvalho as a colonial-era record of their customs and traditional history. Its pictures are plain wood-engraved portraits of seated men and women in cloth, cloaks, headwraps, beads and bangles, drawn with dense hatching against light backgrounds, offering a designer examples of hatched line work and of portrait composition in a documentary style.
