The Albert N’Yanza Great Basin Of The Nile, And Explorations Of The Nile Sources by Samuel W. Baker - 1872

London: Macmillan And Co., 1872. Hardback. Very Good. New edition hardback, 1872, in contemporary full green leather binding, the spine with five raised bands and gilt titles. In overall very good used condition with only slight signs of age, handling and storage - boards a touch rubbed to corners but remain clean and crisp. Binding tight and appears almost unread. Internally clean, no annotation - gift inscription dated Eton 1893 to reverse of front endpaper and bookplate to front pastedown - no name but coat of arms and Latin motto ‘Cassis Tutissima Virtus’, possibly of the Cholmondley family, Cheshire; a little foxing to prelims but gilt page-ends retain lustre, text, map and illustrations bright and clear throughout. Retains the original maroon satin page-marker. A particularly handsome and well cared for copy. Photographs available. Not an old library book.
