Spielmanns-geschichten der Sahel

Frobenius, Leo, 1873-1938 · 1921 · Jena, E. Diederichs · 3 pictures

A 1921 German folklore collection of Sahel minstrel tales, compiled by ethnologist Leo Frobenius and published in Jena by E. Diederichs. The pictures are a sketch map of the Sahara and Sudan regions, a decorative title page with interlaced geometric borders in black and red, and a small black-and-white lion emblem inside a circle, all drawn in a stark graphic style that a designer could borrow for bold borders, emblem marks, and map-based layouts.
