Lovedale missionary institution, South Africa
This 1894 book, published in Edinburgh and Glasgow by Andrew Elliot and David Bryce and Son and written by missionary James Stewart, describes the Lovedale mission institution in South Africa and is aimed at a missionary-minded readership. Its sepia photographs show the mission's streets, workshops and stone buildings, with wagons, oxen and groups of people in daylight; a designer could draw on their rural, documentary character for vintage travel or colonial-era material.
