Maps on lining papers; index. A very attractive set. "Sir Samuel White Baker, a British explorer, officer, naturalist, and author, etched his name in history with his significant explorations in Central Africa. His fame rests largely on his discovery of Lake Albert and his relentless pursuit of the Nile River's source. Baker's expeditions, often accompanied by his wife, Florence Baker, were ventures into the unknown that filled gaps in Western contemporary knowledge about the region's geography. His pen proved as mighty as his adventurous spirit, with numerous books detailing his travels, including "The Albert N'yanza, Great Basin of the Nile" and "Explorations of the Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia." Knighted in 1866 for his services to geographical discovery, Baker's legacy continues to inspire, reflecting a life dedicated to exploration and the expansion of knowledge.-Bing. / Exploration of Africa, 19th Centure.
