First edition. John Bale, Sons & Danielsson. London. 1911. Crown octavo. viii, 304pp. Photo frontis., numerous further photo plates, one colour plate (independence poster), 3 maps. Original red cloth, gilt lettering to spine, black lettering and motif to upper board. Slight shelf wear and small abrasions to lower corner of upper board, corresponding tiny lower corner bumps to first few pages. Free endpapers lightly toned.Marshall Howard Saville (1867-1985) Curator American Museum of Natural History specialising in Meso-American and South American archaeology. "As my travels in Spanish South America extended over a period of six years, it may be fairly hoped that the knowledge of some of the places here described is not superficial, and professional work often procured adventures which, if ill paid in money, were rich in incident. The photographs have been selected from those taken during my travels, in the hope they may convey to the reader a more vivid perception."

First edition. Mathews Miller Dunbar/Bailey Co-Production. London. 1975. Quarto. 144pp. 130 plates in monochrome and colour, indexed to rear. Marbled endpapers. A very good copy in the original brown cloth, gilt lettering to spine. The original dust wrapper is sunned and faded to spine, more so to the head, with short closed tear and crease to upper edge. A nice copy."The Highlands of New Guinea escaped the Victorian explorers which left this country with a last frontier... To take my camera and record an image that, that other corrupter of innocence, tourisme, has not yet destroyed. To just see people that have not been seen to death. To feel, no matter how small, a little of what the Burtons felt in abundance...Maybe one day in the distant future a child might come across this book in a pile of second-hand junk, and ask, "Did people dress like that when there were still tigers in the world?" and he might add "how lucky they were in the 20th century to have had such wonders"."

Original blue cloth, silver lettering to spine, showing light wear and spotting, with light rubbing to the extremities. Lower edge untrimmed. Toning to free endpapers. Text and map crisp and bright.

Francis Kingdon-Ward (1885-1958) English botanist, explorer, plant collector and author. A classic work of exploration and plant hunting.

"Tibet has always exercised a fascination over the minds of men... Its aloofness, its sublime heights, its well-guarded and remote approaches, above all the strange culture and religious fervour of its people, all tend to make it even in these days a land of mystery."

The story of his 1,000 mile Tibetan journey from Assam in 1935, extended with the observations on the Balipara Frontier Tract, its flowers, its people and its geography, made three years later on his second visit.
