Uno fra i libri di viaggio più rari in assoluto, racconta il viaggio esplorativo compiuto dal Conte R. F. de Tolna, in compagnia della moglie, in occasione delle loro nozze, attraverso l'Oceano Pacifico. Viaggio che durò ben otto anni e diede loro modo di visitare luoghi ancora inesplorati di entrare a stretto contatto con popolazioni selvagge, dagli usi e costumi differenti e curiosi, tra cui quella decisamente suggestiva del cannibalismo. Un affascinante viaggio attraverso una cultura ormai perduta, arricchito da splendide e suggestive illustrazioni. Edizione originale in ottimo stato. Un gioiello di eccezionale rarità.
Carta nautica dell'Oceano Atlantico in cui sono segnate le rotte navali. Interessante evidenziare la presenza del cavo telegrafico "Telegraphic Cable" la cui collocazione si era da poco terminata. Questo cavo telegrafico adagiato sul fondo dell'oceano rappresentò un enorme passo avanti nel campo delle comunicazioni tra il Nord America e l'Europa. Da quel momento un messaggio poteva essere trasmesso e ricevuto nel giro di qualche minuto, quando fino a poco tempo prima erano necessari almeno dieci giorni di navigazione. Piccoli fori di tarlo che non compromettono l'ottimo stato di conservazione generale. Attraente coloritura coeva all'acquerello.

160 pages. Preface by Yousuf Karsh. In this breathtaking photographic tribute to his adopted country, one of Canada's best-known and to-ranking photographers captures the many faces and moods of this vast land. From the Quaint fishing villages of Atlantic Canada to the quaint fishing villages of Atlantic Canada to the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, Malak offers a unique visual portrait of the people and places that make up this remarkable nation. Along with the glorious colour landscapes that span the geographic diversity of Canada from Ocean to Ocean, some of Malak's most memorable black-and-white portraits from the past focus in on the individuals who inhabit this country.
