FIRST EDITION AND A POPULAR ACCOUNT OF THE IMPORTANT BABYLONIAN EXPEDITION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. The author was the only English member of the American expedition giving him a unique perspective on its intentions and discoveries. BY NILE AND EUPHRATES is not a typical expedition log; it is an account of life in an excavator's camp the journey to camp and the people encountered along the way.<br> As British member of Petrie's archeological expedition to Egypt and Mesopotamia Geere was present during the important excavations at Nippur. Nippur was situated on both sides of the ancient bed of the Shatt-en-Nil canal one of the earliest courses of the Euphrates between the present bed of that river and the Tigris almost 160 km southeast of Baghdad. The canal bed divides the site into an East Mound and West Mound. It is represented by the great complex of ruin mounds known to the Arabs as Nuffar written by the earlier explorers Niffer and later as Nippur.<br> Nippur was first excavated briefly by Sir Austen Henry Layard in 1851. But full-scale digging was begun by the expedition from the University of Pennsylvania. The work involved four seasons of excavation between 1889 and 1900 and was led by John Punnett Peters John Henry Haynes and Hermann Volrath Hilprecht all of whom were known to and cited by Geere. Thousands of tablets were found at a smaller mound dubbed "tablet hill" about 7.5 meters in average height and 52 square meters in area southeast of the temple mound.A true arch one of the world's earliest examples was also found. In the Parthian layer a box containing fragments of votive axes made of glass from the Kassite period were found. Several late Kassite rulers are represented including Kurigalzu II. T. & T.

Gutes Exemplar; Einband etwas berieben. - Mit beiliegender Faltkarte. - Faksimile in Frakturschrift. - Richard Kandt (vor 1894 Richard Kantorowicz; * 17. Dezember 1867 in Posen; † 29. April 1918 in Nürnberg) war ein deutscher Arzt und Afrikaforscher. ... Zwischen 1897 und 1907 erforschte er den Nordwesten von Deutsch-Ostafrika und wurde 1906 zum Kaiserlichen Residenten der mit Verordnung vom 20. Juni 1906 und mit Wirkung vom 15. November 1907 geschaffenen Residentur Ruanda von Deutsch-Ostafrika berufen. Kandt traf im August 1907 in Ruanda ein und gründete noch im gleichen Jahr seinen Residentensitz Kigali. Im Frühjahr 1914 war er zu einem Urlaub nach Deutschland gekommen und konnte wegen des Ausbruchs des Ersten Weltkrieges im August 1914 nicht nach Ruanda zurückkehren. Bald nach Kriegsausbruch meldete er sich als Arzt und ging an die Ostfront. … Kandt ist in Ruanda noch heute eine hoch geachtete Person. In seinem Haus in Kigali ist ein Naturkundemuseum eingerichtet worden und dort wird in einem Raum auch über ihn informiert … (wiki) // „Caput Nili" - Eine empfindsame Reise zu den Quellen des Nils erschien erstmals 1904, knapp zwei Jahre nach Kandts Rückkehr aus Ruanda. Das Werk wurde ein Erfolg, die zweite Auflage folgte schnell. Als der Verfasser sein Buch Anfang 1914 für die dritte Auflage in Form von ergänzenden Anmerkungen überarbeitete, versah er seine einführenden Worte mit der Überschrift „Zur dritten Fahrt". 1919, als die vierte Auflage erscheinen sollte, weilte Kandt nicht mehr unter den Lebenden. Sein langjähriger Freund, der Afrikaforscher Franz Stuhlmann, widmete dem Gefallenen einen Nachruf, den er „Zur vierten Fahrt" überschrieb. ... (Vorwort U. Löber) // INHALT / Kapitel: Zur vierten Fahrt; Zur dritten Fahrt; Ein Wegweiser; Brief I; Sansibar und die Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Küste (Briefe II - IV); Auf der großen Karawanenstraße (Briefe V - VII); Tabora (Brief VIII); Die Ugalla-Sindi-Expedition (Briefe IX - XIII); Intermezzo (Briefe XIV - XVII); Vom Blatternlager nach Tabora (Brief XVIII); Vegetationsbilder (Brief XIX); Von Tabora nach Uschirombo (Briefe XX - XXI); Zum Alexandra-Nil (Brief XXII); Am Hofe des Königs; Ringmarsch um die Vulkane; Zur Nilquelle; Vom Tanganika zum Kiwu; Am Westufer des Kiwu; Zwischen Kiwu und Albert-Eduard-See; Am Ostufer des Kiwu; Bootsfahrten; Verzeichnis der Lichtdrucke; Kartenbeilagen: Große Karawanenstraße Bagamojo - Tabora 1:4000000 / Kiwu-See und Nilquellen 1:1000000.

Small old crease just effecting the image but not very visible. A very nice example. very good This wonderful CDV comprises an image of each crew member and the mascot. The central image is of the ship. Souvenir photographs of both the Alert and the Discovery were taken by rival photographers before the departure of the expedition. Both produced CDV copes as well as much larger examples. Although quite small each potrait is very clear and the name of the individual is usually readable with a magnifing glass.
