A narrative of travels in northern Africa in the years 1818, 19, and 20 : accompanied by geographical notices of Soudan and of the course of the Niger : with a chart of the routes and a variety of coloured plates, illustrative of the costumes of the several natives of northern Africa
A travel narrative by naval officer George Francis Lyon, published in London by John Murray in 1821, recording his journeys through northern Africa in 1818 to 1820 with coloured plates of the peoples he met. The pictures are hand-coloured aquatints of figures in costume, with plain outdoor settings and sparing background detail, showing how dress, weapons and posture distinguish each group, a useful model for building clear character studies.
