Bland-Sutton, John, Sir, 1855-1936, Bland-Sutton, John, Sir, 1855-1936, inscriber. DSI, Nebb, C.H.S., former owner. DSI, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) DSI · 1911 · London : Macmillan and Co. · 18 pictures

A natural history and ethnology book by the London surgeon John Bland-Sutton, published by Macmillan in 1911, drawing on observations made in British East Africa, Uganda and the Sudan. Its pictures are fine pen-and-ink engravings of antelopes and a ground hornbill set in open grassland, with dense hatching for fur and feathers and clean outlines against cream paper, useful to a designer wanting naturalistic wildlife linework and a vintage scientific-plate look.
