Meidinger, [1888]. 2° (385 x 302mm). 40 photographs by Hans Hienrich Joseph Meyer mounted in pairs on thick card, coloured lithographed map at end. Original green pictorial cloth gilt (extremities very lightly rubbed, some very light dust-soiling). A FINE COPY of one of the scarcest 19th-century books on East African exploration.
