Kingston, William Henry Giles, 1814-1880 · 1874 · London, New York [etc.] T. Nelson and Sons · 33 pictures

The Western World is a 1874 London and New York natural history book by William Henry Giles Kingston, published by T. Nelson and Sons as a general popular account of animals and landscapes in North and South America. Its wood-engraved plates show monkeys in trees, a jaguar in dense foliage, and hunting dogs bringing an animal to bay, all in dense black-and-white line work a designer could use for animal study and jungle textures.
