Sobre este item
Two octavo volumes, original maroon cloth, gilt-decorated spines and centerpieces. Interiors clean; a few very short closed splits to folding map along folds. The two folding maps are color lithographs, one is quite large and housed in a pocket at the rear of Volume I. With publisher's ads at rear of each volume. Spines lightly sunned, gilt bright. An about near-fine set in the original cloth housed in a brown cloth clamshell box with a Morocco label. First edition of the journals from David Livingstone's last African expedition from 1865 to 1873, illustrated with frontispiece portrait, 20 full-page wood-engravings (including some after Livingstone's sketches and facsimiles from his journal), in-text illustrations and two folding maps. A splendid copy in the original cloth. The best known and most admired African explorer and missionary of the 19th century, Livingstone was the first to map much of central Africa. The Last Journals presents a detailed description of Livingstone's last expedition, which began in Zanzibar in 1866 and ended with his death in 1873. An attractive set.
