Description

2 volumes. First Edition. Scarcest variant, bound in the blue decorated cloth. With 179 original illustrations including 36 wood-engraved full page plates and 5 coloured maps on two large folding map sheets. Tall 8vo, publisher's original pale blue cloth lettered in gilt and with gilt pictorial designs of African tribesmen and gazelles on top covers and spines, edges untrimmed. xx, 435; xii, 397 pp. A very handsome and pleasing set of this scarce first edition in the scarcest binding colour and with a few old and occasional but small and discreet library markings. The set was part of a reference library and not a lending library, thus remains in very pleasing, as fine condition. Shelf numbers in the lower quadrant of the spines sometime discreetly coloured over in pigment matching the binding colour, only light aging to the volumes. A very attractive pair.
