HENDERSON, GEORGE & HUME, ALLEN

LAHORE TO YARKAND INCIDENTS OF THE ROUTE AND NATURAL HISTORY

Year: 1873

Size: 26 x 16.5 cm (10.3 x 6.5 inches).

Published by: L. Reeve & Co. 1873. Large 8vo., pp 370+16+xiv

26 heliotype images on 16 leaves, plus folding color map and three charts of which two are colored, plus 32 hand colored lithographic plates after Keulmans, and 6 hand colored botanical plates.

Original cloth hardcover binding, gilded hologram on front cover, title in gilt on spine.
The plates are clean and crisp and free of foxing. Internally the book is really a near fine copy. VG+-Near Fine
Kaul 690: A description of the route from Jammu to Ladakh via Banihal. Wood 383: Report of an important scientific expedition. Zimmer 298: The ornithological report contains descriptions of several new species. RGS Catalogue 215. The first 150 pages contains Henderson's travel narrative, with the rest of the book on natural history, mostly on birds by Hume. The narrative describes the 2,000 mile trip each way over a period of six months. The entomological report appears to be by H. W. Bates and the botanical one by Henderson and J. D. Hooker, with a meteorological appendix. Notable especially for its fine plates, the hand colored plates of birds are very attractive.
Provenance : Collection of a Gentleman
