Across Africa
by Verney Lovett Cameron
Commander royal Navy
Gold medaillist Royal Geographical Society, etc.
In two volumes with numerous illustrations
London - Daldy, Isbister & Co.
1877 - First Edition.

An important account of the Livingstone Relief Expedition of 1873-1875 sponsored by the Royal Geographical Society.
Cameron was the first European to cross equatorial Africa from sea to sea, in 1875.
During his travels, Cameron conducted a complete survey of Lake Tanganyika, and travelled
southeast through the Southern Congo region and Angola.
Cameron's accounts of his travels were recognised for their valuable suggestions for the opening up
of the continent, including the utilization of the great lakes as a Cape to Cairo Road connection.
In recognition of his work he was promoted to the rank of Commander.

A very smart copy of this important work from a prominent Victorian era explorer.
Illustrated with 15 plates to volume I, and 18 plates to volume II, three of wich are folding.
A facsimile letter reporting death of Dr. Livingstone and a page of journal 'when paper was
running short', and a very large (85 x 39 cm) colored folding map of the route to the rear of volume I.

Books clearly used but in good condition and firmly bound.
Pages generally clean and bright.

El libro está muy bien salvo rotura extensa en página 121, no descrita. El paquete llegó muy tarde por error en la dirección de envío. Salvo estos defectos, vendedor recomendable.

Een mooi album, goed verpakt en binnen twee dagen bezorgd. Jammer dat het boek met boeklon bekleed is, maar dat stond in de beschrijving. Ik ben er blij mee.
