PARKE, Thomas Heazel.
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES IN EQUATORIAL AFRICA AS MEDICAL OFFICER FOR THE EMIN PASHA RELIEF EXPEDITION.
1891
Plates, one with corner torn off, not affecting image and lacks one plate - "Pigmy damsel changing her dress"; (no doubt removed by some lascivious Victorian gentleman). Folding map in rear pocket. Contents are showing some light marking. Bound in a fine ornate half morocco gilt. First English edition.
A disappointing copy of a rare title, complete copies commanding double this price.
£190.00
(equal to approx. US$300.46* or €234.97* for 22 May 2012)
