Savage Sudan : its wild tribes, big-game and bird-life

Chapman, Abel, 1851-1929, Russell E. Train Africana Collection (Smithsonian Libraries) · 1921 · London ; Edinburgh : Gurney and Jackson · 13 pictures

Savage Sudan is a 1921 London travel and natural history book by the hunter and naturalist Abel Chapman, published by Gurney and Jackson, aimed at general readers interested in African big game and birds. Its pictures are soft grey tonal drawings on cream paper showing a heron-like bird landing on a branch, a gazelle-type antelope with curved horns, a kingfisher among reeds, and small long-tailed rodents drinking at water; a designer could draw on their gentle shading and quiet naturalistic poses for wildlife layouts.
