Liberia
Liberia, a 1907 travel description by Harry Hamilton Johnston, published in Washington by the Government Printing Office and drawn from Royal Geographical Society material, aimed at readers wanting a general account of the West African republic. The photographs are plain documentary halftones of coastal water, a riverside village with a large tree, groups of local people, and a boat on the surf, giving a designer a sepia, unposed record of early twentieth-century West African coastal life and landscape.
