Most of its artwork consists of decorative headpieces and tailpieces, not photographs of Sudan. Warner writes from a nineteenth-century Western traveller’s perspective, including dated assumptions and prejudiced descriptions. These are preserved as historical evidence, not endorsed as present-day accounts of the people or places described.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original public-domain transcription is available free from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gutenberg.org\/ebooks\/52212\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eProject Gutenberg\u003c\/a\u003e.
