Description: STANLEY, HENRY M. Through the Dark Continent; or, the Sources of the Nile Around the Great Lakes of Equatorial Africa and Down the Livingstone River to the Atlantic Ocean. London: George Newnes, 1899. This 1899 2 volume set has been lovingly restored by a professional bookbinder, in tan half leather with gold lettering and brown boards. There is some age related damage to the page edges, but all papers are completely readable - I have taken a number of photographs so that you can make your own assessment - feel free to ask questions or request additional photographs. This richly bound two volume set would look magnificent on the shelf of any library! Revised 1899 edition with a new preface by the author especially written for this edition. Hardcover.
