Beschreibung
Murray, London, 1853, first edition; volume I only, of two; 8vo, 150 x 220mm; pp xv, 425; frontispiece, 20 (one of these, 'Abyssinian Travelling', being present as a modern facsimile) wood engraved plates or other illustrations and a large folding map of Abyssinia and Nubia to illustrate Parkyns's journey; dull green cloth titled gilt on the spine; somewhat shaken and the binding a little loose in places in consequence; pages variously browned; the plates show damp or water staining and the map is torn along some of the folds and roughly repaired with narrow brown paper tape - altogether although complete (note comment re facsimile plate) and suitable as a reading or binding copy. . . . . Martyns travelled extensively over what is now Eritrea and Ethiopia between 1843 and 1846 and in those travels repeated some of James Bruce's travels almost a century earlier and confirmed some of Bruce's earlier observations.
