Mission d'exploration du Haut-Niger: voyage au Soudan Français (Haut-Niger et pays de Ségou) 1879-1881
This is an 1885 Paris travel account by army officer Joseph-Simon Gallieni, published by Hachette, recording his 1879-1881 exploration of the upper Niger and the Ségou region of French Sudan for a French readership. The pictures are wood-engraved scenes of caravans, camps and riverside villages, drawn in fine parallel hatching with loose foliage, offering a designer reference for dense, documentary line work and open landscape layouts; several plates are printed sideways.
