Four years in Ashantee
A 1878 London missionary account, Four Years in Ashantee, by Friedrich August Ramseyer and Johannes Kühne, published by J. Nisbet and aimed at a general readership interested in missions. The single picture is a dense wood-engraved scene of two African men carrying baskets through tall grass beside a bundled crop, drawn with heavy hatching and strong contrast, offering a designer a model for dynamic figure groupings and textured foliage in black-and-white line work.
