Wild beasts and their ways : reminiscences of Europe, Asia, Africa and America
Wild Beasts and Their Ways is a hunting and natural history memoir by Sir Samuel White Baker, published in London by Macmillan in 1890 for general readers interested in big game. The three plates are wood engravings, rotated on the page, showing tigers, elephants, and other animals in tall grass and scrub. A designer could take from them the dense, hatched tonal texture of 19th-century wood engraving and the dramatic diagonal compositions of animals in wild landscapes.
