186313920London: Tinsley Brothers 1863. Hardcover. Very good. Two volumes in the rarest binding state without Burton's name or FRGS on the spines but with a "second edition" slug on the title pages. This state was apparently unknown to Penzer and was probably the result of an attempt to boost sales by the publisher as the text is unchanged. Plate of Julu house is the frontispiece to Volume I and the map now detached and laid in is in Volume II. . Both volumes lightly bumped/rubbed but clean and sound. Small bookplate of F.H. Spencer on each front pastedown. Much to his dismay Burton's first consular posting landed him on a small desolate island off the coast of West Africa. He took every opportunity to leave the place exploring various parts of the mainland and making observations on cultural and traditions health and sanitary conditions and slavery among other things. The account of his journeys into Sierra Leone and Nigeria to investigate stories of gold and gold mining is credited with drawing public attention to mining prospects in the region.

1931D14321931. Very Good. Stab binding bound with grey ribbon patterned cloth over boards 13 x 9.25 with handwritten titles on front board; contains 19 grey heavy cardstock leaves each featuring numerous b/w photographs more than 150 in all average size is 3 x 4.25 affixed to rectos and versos with photo-corners most of them labeled by hand in German with some English. Boards a little rubbed and scuffed else fine. <br/><br/>A lovely young African woman wearing robes a turban and a necklace clutches a pipe in her teeth and poses for the camera in front of a thatched roof house. The photograph bears the handwritten label Basutofrau aus dem Hinterland von East London. So begins this collection of images photographs taken by the author and postcards of Cape Town and South-West Africa in 1931. It offers a nice balance of the personal with images of the authors friends at picnics hiking with men in suits and hat and the ladies in dresses and high-heeled shoes! on ship and watching street performers and the more broadly interesting streetscapes and landmarks. The African people it seems were also generously willing to smile for the camera. Postcards have labels printed in English identifying Camps Bay Chapman Peak government buildings memorials etc. and the photographs taken by the author usually identify the place and date tidy penmanship in German and often with a quip. Though a few of the authors photographs are a little blurry or over-exposed most are nicely composed and all of the images photos and postcards are bright and clean. A pleasing amalgam. hardcover books
