The Life and Explorations of David Livingstone, LL.D. The African Traveller and Missionary. Carefully Compiled From Reliable Sources. Illustrated with 11 vivid full colour plates including a frontispiece. The book details the life and explorations of Livingstone and has a number of beautiful coloured plates illustrating his tale. Whilst this period of exploration by white Europeans may be viewed by contemporary readers through a post-imperial lens, at the time of publishing, this book portrayed Livingstone as a hero. This is a first edition, published in 1885 in London by Walter Scott. Large volume bound in red cloth bevelled boards with black decorations. Gilt lettering and gilt vignette of Livingstone on front board and to spine. Embossed crest to rear board. All page edges gilt. Condition: good. Very middle pages are loose but still attached. Corners are bumped and slight damage to top of spine. Bottom of front cover is slightly detached from the first page. Pages are clean and bright with very little foxing. Colour illustrations are still bright and vivid. A prize plate inside front cover. Please contact us for more information, including additional photographs.
