William Cotton Oswell, hunter and explorer : the story of his life with certain correspondance and extracts from the private journal of David Livingstone, hitherto unpublished
A 1900 London biography by William Edward Oswell of the hunter and explorer William Cotton Oswell, published by W. Heinemann and drawing on David Livingstone's unpublished private journal. The illustrations are black-and-white wash and engraved plates: a wounded elephant charging a hunter through scrubby trees, a hunter at a cliff with a dog, and a brick college building with figures on a lawn. A designer could take from them the plain, dramatic style of late-Victorian hunting scenes, with strong diagonal action and tonal wash over open landscape.
