Sobre este artículo
London: T. FIsher Unwin, 1907. Cloth. Good. 8.5" by 6". Not Stated. An account of late nineteenth century travels through Africa, illustrated throughout and with folding maps. The third impression of this first person account of the travels of author A. B. Lloyd through Central Africa, what the author terms 'the Dark Continent'.Lloyd's love of Empire and colonialist perspective is at the forefront of his narrative, with the claim made in the preface that, regarding Africa, 'Britain's sons have planted the Union Jack in her very centre, not to suck her life-blood for the sake of her wealth, but to bring her the priceless treasures of Peace, Prosperity, and Religion'.Illustrated with many photographic and illustrated vignettes and plates. With three maps, two of which are folding. Collated, complete. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Split to cloth at front joint. Bumping to spine head and tail. Internally, firmly bound. Light spotting throughout. Good
