This 1873 London publication from J. Murray, issued by the Royal Geographical Society and edited by Richard Burton, gathers travel accounts of Lacerda's 1798 journey to the Cazembe kingdom in central Africa, written for geographers and armchair readers. The single picture is a folding-style map sheet with a northern strip of place names, rivers drawn in fine blue lines, and small lettered labels, offering a designer a sparse cartographic texture of pale ochre land, blue water courses and printed sans-serif labels.
