Description

First American edition. Illustrated with 36 fine cuts throughout, many of which are full page, the frontispiece being double-page plate of the Falls at Zambesi, large folding map at rear with expedition routes in red. Tall 8vo, in the publisher's original green cloth, more rare than the brown cloth bindings, lettered on the spine in gilt. xxii, 638pp., [6pp. ads]. A fine, handsome and well preserved copy, internally very clean, the folding map near pristine, the binding solid and very well preserved with barely any wear or rubbing at all, the green very slightly mellowed at the spine.
