Description

8vo., Third Edition, with an etched frontispiece, 3 etched plates, 16 plates from photographs and a folding map coloured in outline, neat signature on front paste-down; original pictorial cloth blocked and lettered in gilt, gilt back, uncut, a very good, bright, clean copy. With the list of subscribers and publisher's advertisement leaf. A lovely copy of Page's classic account, first published in 1889 and reissued later in the same year. This is the last edition to feature the fine etched sepia-toned plates prepared by Alfred Dawson from drawings by the author. A fourth edition, with a reduced number of plates, appeared in 1895. Brockett 51330 (astonishingly, recording only the first and fourth editions); Cocks pp.26-27.
