The Heart of Africa. Vol. I-II: Three Years' Travels and Adventures in the Unexplored Regions of Central Africa from 1868 to 1871

Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington n.d. [c. 1880s] xiii, 299; viii, 308, 2 frontispeices, 14 plates, engravings to text, map. . HB. 2 vols, 8vo, orig. red cloth, black-stamped design to front boards, gilt titles to spine. Spines slightly faded; some foxing, mostly to page edges. Gatherings largely unopened. Very good.. Third and cheaper edition. Undated reissue. Introduction by Winwood Reade. Georg Schweinfurth (1836-1925) was a Latvian-born, German explorer, botanist and archaeologist who gained great distinction through his travels and discoveries in East Central Africa. From 1863 to 1866 he explored Egypt and the Sudan; upon his return to Berlin, he received a grant to undertake a botanical exploration of the equatorial area of Africa (current day Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo). This work gives an account of his journeys in this region. Enclosed with this copy is a press cutting with an obituary of Schweinfurt. It states: 'He was the last survivor of that band of scientists, missionaries, and adventurers which included such men as Livingstone, Stanley, Rohlfs, Barth, Nachtigal, and Lenz, who in the latter days of the last century, led the way into many portions of Africa hitherto unknown to the civilized world.'.
