Le Vaillant's zweite Reise in das Innere von Afrika: während der Jahre 1783 bis 1785: Le Vaillant's zweite Reise in das Innere von Afrika; Zweiter Band
This German translation of François Le Vaillant's account of his second journey into the interior of Africa from 1783 to 1785 was edited by Johann Reinhold Forster and published by the Vossische Buchhandlung in Berlin in 1796. The engraved plates show Khoikhoi and other southern African people in portrait busts and full-length figures, with plain outlines and small landscape settings. A designer could draw on their clear, uncluttered line work and the way single figures are framed within rectangular plate borders.
