Descrizione

First Edition. Illustrated with eighteen plates taken from photographs by the author, and with a very large colour folding map (ca. 15 1/2" x 21"). Large octavo, handsomely bound in the publisher's original dark green cloth with gilt pictorial vignette of an African native on upper cover and author's signature in gilt, the spine gilt lettered and decorated with the bust of a rhinoceros in gilt. xii, 312 pp. including Index and 24 pp. catalogue of publisher ads. A good copy, the cloth still dark green and without fading, the gilt bright and well preserved, especially to the cover art gilt-work, the extremities a bit rubbed from shelving and wear, bookplate of R. Daniel, Jr., his ownership signature and stamp to endleaves, map tab loose from binding, a good thing as the map can be viewed without damaging it.
