Trois ans dans l'Afrique Australe : débuts de la mission du Zambèse; Lettres des H. Depelchin et Ch. Croonenberghs, 1879, 1880, 1881

Depelchin, H. (Henri), 1822-1900 · 1882 · Bruxelles : Polleunis, Geuterick et Lefébure · 1 picture

A missionary letter collection published in Brussels in 1882 by Henri Depelchin, reporting on the Zambezi mission in southern Africa from 1879 to 1881. The single picture is a folding map of the Zambezi region with routes in red, scripted place names, and a small inset locating the area within southern Africa. A designer could take from it the look of a nineteenth-century colonial survey map, with its hand-lettered labels, dense typography and muted printed tones.
