About This Item
U.S. Virgin Islands 1986. Drawn from an impressive work entitled Danmark published in 1856, these translated excerpts focus on the Danish West Indies around the time that Governor Peter von Scholten emancipated the slaves in 1848. Never before published in English, the comprehensive, yet charming description of West Indian life and nature-in St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas-has a great deal more to offer todays reader than just a sentimental observation of times past. Readers can easily sense the natural curiosity and captivation of the original author, the Danish naturalist, A.S. Ørsted, as he encountered the rich botanical world of the tropics with his abundant knowledge thereof. The book is the companion text to six renowned lithographs ( by Emil Bærenten) of the islands of St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John., English/ Danish, Year1986, Illust. B/W12, Illust. Color, ISBN , Library of Congress No. 8760162, Code 4273. Softbound, In Pristine Condition, , Pages 46, Size 5 1/2x 8 1/2
