Jonathan Cape, 1927, 7th impression. Cloth, VG. 320pp, b/w frontis, spine a little sunned, cloth rubbed & slightly tired looking, otherwise a nice copy. Hardback , no dustjacket. ¶ The first volume of Trader Horn's autobiography, detailing his days as an Ivory merchant in the 1870s on the West Coast of Africa. The work details his exploits, including rescuing slaves & in particular his saving of a princess who has been held captive. The book is of its time, with many casual references to shooting big game, although Trader Horn does have a genuine respect of the African people. Alfred Aloysius Smith [ 1861 - 1931 ].
