Quarta edizione, ma la più completa, di uno delle più celebri relazioni di caccia africana scritta dal noto geografo e cacciatore marsigliese di origini ebraiche Aron Fortune Emmanuel Georges Edouard Foa. Nel 1891 venne inviato per conto del governo francese in missione esplorativa nell'Africa sub sahariana. Atterrato a Cape Town, Foà si diresse prima verso il Transvaal . Quindi, scopre la grande caccia ai coccodrilli di fiume passione che lo tenne fermo per alcuni mesi. Con una carovana di servitori e facchini, sembra fosse composta da circa 380 persone, l'esploratore si mise in cammino per raggiungere lo Zambesi , lungo il fiume Sabi. Dopo aver passato l'Head e le gole del Kébrabassa la colonna si inoltra nell'Africa centrale, tra le montagne del Tchiouta. Fu il primo a raggiungere il lago Nyasa e le sorgenti dello Zambesi. Nel suo tragitto uccise un'enorme quantità di animali molti dei quali andarono ad ingrossare le collezioni pubbliche francesi. Si racconta che con una pistola in due anni uccise più di 30 elefanti. Entrò in contatto anche con la tribù cannibale dell'Wanyambezi. Edizione in bella legatura e all'interno in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Bibl.: Thiébaud p405 et Numa Broc I, p143.

A picture of this book is available upon request by email. The author (1909-88) traveled to the Amazon area 15 times over a 32 year period, by canoe, on foot and often alone. Her diaries and sketches portray the forests as they have never been viewed before. Her paintings and sketches "could stand without shame in the high company of such masters as Georg Dionysius Ehret and Redoute" (Wilfred Blunt). An important contribution to the botany and wildlife of Amazonia and an interesting description of plant exploration. Mee was a passionate conservationist and devoted her life to recording the diversity and beauty of the Amazon. She was one of the first to protest the destruction still taking place there. Sitwell in Great Flower Books describes her work as: 'exceptional and quite in the tradition of the great eighteenth-century books '. 'Mee was a talented botanical painter and intrepid traveller. . .an exceptional personality' [Oak Spring Flora].
