Dr. Schweinfurth traveled through central Africa as a botanist and did much to increase our knowledge of that area. His book however, is a broad exploration of the region. The people, the customs, the land and of course the natural world were explored during his three year journey. Sampson Low and Company, printed this edition to be uniform with several other works on African travel, including works by Henry Stanley, Joseph Thomson and R.P. Ashe. The series contained the maps and illustrations of the original editions in a more affordable format. The lower cost did not however mean the end of decorated bindings. This copy has quite pleasing provenance. Colonel Charles Henry Dudley Ryder, CB, CIE, DSO (1868 - 1945) was an English army officer and explorer. An officer of the Royal Engineers, British Army, he served as Surveyor General of India from 1919 to 1924. During his career, he undertook a number of surveys; including in China's Yunnan province, Tibet and the Himalayas, the North-West Frontier Province, the Turco-Persian border, in Mesopotamia, and throughout India. ODNB In 1905, he was awarded the Patron's Medal by the Royal Geographical Society "For his survey of Yunnan and his work in connection with the Tibet Mission". That same year, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) "in recognition of the services [.] with the Tibet Mission Escort". In the 1915 King's Birthday Honours, Ryder was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) following his time in charge of the "Turco-Persian Frontier Commission, Survey Detachment". In the 1922 King's Birthday Honours, he was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath.…

Georg August Schweinfurth (1836-1925) was educated at the Universities of Heidelberg, Munich, and Berlin, where he specialized in botany and palaeontology. "An 1862 specimen-collecting trip up the Nile River to Khartoum won him support from a Berlin scientific institute for more extensive exploration in the equatorial area of Africa, in what is now the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He sailed south from Suez in the late summer of 1868 and reached the Nile via an overland route from the coast. From Khartoum he continued south in January 1869, then joined a group of ivory traders heading west through regions inhabited by the Dyoor, Dinka, Bongo, and Niam-Niam tribes; later, he reached the unknown kingdom of the cannibalistic Monbuttoo, and on 19 March 1870, discovered the Uele River, which would prove to be an important tributary of the Congo.The record of his journey was published in an English translation in the same year it appeared in German. As a trained botanist and accomplished artist, Schweinfurth expanded knowledge of the flora and fauna of central Africa as well as the ethnology of its inhabitants. He was the first European to encounter the Akka Pygmies of East Africa, settling the question raised by Homer and Herodotus of the existence of dwarf races in Africa and the Mittoo and Loobah tribes between the White Nile and the upper Congo, among whom women practice lip enlargement to enhance their appearance" (John Delaney, To the Mountains of the Moon). Winwood Read's introduction to the present volume describes Schweinfurth and Sir Samuel Baker as the only two explorers to have successfully penetrated Africa from north to south. A "true classic of African exploration" (Czech, pp. 248-9). Sir Albert Ruskin Cook, CMG, OBE (1870-1951) was a British medical missionary in Uganda, and the founder of Mulago Hospital and Mengo Hospital, the oldest hospital in East Africa. Cook was unusual amongst medical missionaries due to his efforts to train Africans to become skilled medical workers, as typified by his and his wife Katharine's (1863-1938) opening of a school for midwives at Mengo, and their production of a midwifery manual in Ganda, the local language.
