35 pages. Plus a large fold-out colour map measuring approximately 11 x 9 inches (28 x 23cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. An important first-hand narrative of St George Littledale - a significant explorer of Tibet and the Pamir, who contributed several outstanding valuable reports to the Royal Geographical Society - on the intricacies of travel across Pamir in 1890, containing extensive details of his travel route, unbearable cold and fascinating depiction of the Kirgiz tribe. Also included are some notes contributed by Sir Douglas Freshfield, Sir Peter Lumsden and Dr Leitner. Accompanied by a spectacular fold-out colour map illustrating the author's route from Khokand to Gilghit. Littledale and his wife Teresa were known in their time as the greatest British Central Asia travellers of the nineteenth century. Littledale is also considered by many hunters to be one of the greatest big game hunters of all time. He hunted horned game, the sheep and goats, that lived in the mountains of the northern hemisphere, and he collected for the Natural History Museum in London. In 1889 he wanted to cross the Pamirs from north to south from Russia into India. Although the Foreign Office approved his proposal, the Government of India rejected it, so the Littledales changed their plans and went to Russian Central Asia and Mongolia. In 1890 permission was granted for the Pamirs crossing, the first of the Littledales’ three greatest journeys. It was the height of the Great Game, a cold war between Russia and Britain over the vast lands known as Central Asia. The rivalry between the two powers was approaching its climax in that remote desolate region and the Littledales’ feat created a sensation in the press.
