Beschreibung
0, 226, +[30]pp (Hotten's publisher's list for 1872). With four illustrations. Defective copy, with prelims removed, so no title page etc, but all the chapters are there. The damage to the gutter has been made good, a replacement brown endpaper supplied, and the frontispiece of gorillas has been mounted recto to precede p.9, which is the first page of the tale - this being one of Chaillu's books for the young, based upon his African adventures. It includes his encounter with the forest peoples he calls dwarfs, whom we now call pygmies. There is obtrusive soiling to p.9 and the opening p44/45, and light soiling to some of the other pages. 19x13cms, in the original binding of blue cloth over bevelled boards decorated in black and gilt. Firm and fairly clean and bright. Extremely scarce. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 18720040
