Reality versus romance in South Central Africa is a travel account published in 1893 by F.H. Revell Company in New York and Chicago, written by the Jamaica-based physician James Johnston about his journey across southern Africa from Benguella to the Zambesi mouth. The four plates are photographic prints rotated on the page, showing a riverside gathering of African figures, a leafless tree over open grassland, a laden ox-wagon with people beside it, and a palisade of stakes with huts behind.
